Being twins means having a best friend forever . . . But when one goes to middle school in Mexico and the other across the border in California, can that bond withstand the distance? Luis Fernando is staying local in Mexicali, Mexico, while Luisa Teresa crosses the border every day so she can go to a private school in Calexico, California. As they try to embrace new experiences close to and far from home, the twins hit obstacles- like making new friends and navigating school pressure without the other one for support.

Fernando and Teresa finally have the chance to stand on their . . . isn't that what the always wanted?

A unique and timely story about siblings, middle school, and peer pressure from rising star Jose Pimienta, Twin Cities is at once a relatable contemporary story and much-needed window into an experience so many kids can relate to but has rarely been seen in children's graphic novels.

""From start to finish, Twin Cities is a superbly crafted work of art and emotion that marks Pimienta as a creator to watch."" -BookPage, starred review
