Being twins means having a best friend forever…But when one twin goes to school in Mexico and the other goes to school across the border in Calexico- can that bond withstand the distance? A contemporary middle grade graphic novel about discovering who you are. Luis Fernando and Luisa Teresa are twins- and they finally have the chance to stand on their own. Fernando is staying local in Mexicali- Mexico- and Teresa is planning to cross the border every day so she can go to a private school in Calexico- California. Suddenly on his own- Fernando realizes that without his twin around. Desperate to not be alone in middle school- he finds himself making friends with the first kid who's willing to give him a chance…only this new friend says and does a lot of things that Fernando isn't too sure about. Teresa is ready to thrive and stand on her own two feet- but she soon finds herself failing under the pressure of crossing the US/Mexico border every day. She no longer has to worry about being compared to her brother-but now she doesn't have his support when she could really use it. At home- both twins have a chance to reconnect. But instead- they find themselves pushing each other away. After all- being on their own is what they always wanted…right? This is a truly contemporary story about siblings- middle school- and peer pressure. Twin Cities explores the importance of family- and also the struggles that come with trying to live up to standards that are impossible to meet.

We will not accept returns or exchanges any book with out a stated grade where they would be NM 9.4 or better books.  We cannot promise 9.8s on every book, that's not realistic.  Printing is imperfect and does not allow for every book to be 9.8.

bindery defects like minor to moderate corner tears, white along the edge of the spine, covers that are offset from the pages (common on cardstock covers) - bindery defects may not affect the grade much if at all

printing defects like a slight color rubs on the back covers, small wrinkles in the paper that were present on the paper rolls prior to the books being printed, paper that is "wavy" from the printing process

2 - 3 small color breaking spine dings or minor non color breaking spine dings
