First Look At Tillie Walden, Tegan & Sara's High School Prequel Crush

Tegan And Sara, with Tillie Walden created a second graphic novel and prequel to High School, Crush, out in October. We have a first look.

Tegan and Sara are a Grammy-nominated music act created by identical twin sisters Tegan Rain Quin and Sara Keirsten Quin. They also published a prose memoir High School in 2019 which has now been turned into a Freevee TV series. Both are openly gay and married, they are advocates for LGBTQ equality and have won multiple GLAAD Media Awards.

Graphic novelist Tillie Walden won the 2018 Eisner Award for Best Reality-Based Work for her graphic novel Spinning, making her one of the youngest Eisner winners ever. She has published five graphic novels with Avery Hill Publishing and First Second as well as the Eisner nominated webcomic On a Sunbeam. She works as a professor at the graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies where she also studied. She is also creating the graphic novel, Clementine, to be released in June based on The Walking Dead character from the TellTale game series.

Together they created the middle-grade graphic novel Tegan & Sara: Junior High published last year, following that up later this year with Tegan & Sara: Crush about "crushes, crushing it, and being crushed by life in junior high—perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Sisters and Sweet Valley Twins."

"Tegan and Sara may have survived seventh grade, but their junior high jams are just beginning. Offstage, school is officially back in session. Between Sara's growing feelings for her dream girl and Tegan's falling out with her former BFF, eighth grade might prove to be even messier than last year. Onstage, the twins are swept up in a battle-of-the-bands contest to open for their favorite musical artist, landing them with a new manager, new opportunities, and new challenges, too. But stepping into the spotlight—and into themselves—means colliding over fame, family, and finding their sound. In this spunky, big-hearted conclusion to the autobiographically inspired story launched in Junior High, the sisters realize that to get the gig that could change their lives forever, they'll have to first figure out how to get along. A prequel of sorts to the authors' bestselling adult memoir High School, now a Freevee television series!"

Tegan and Sara: Crush will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) on the 1st of Octover 2024 and we have a first look below.
