Event Details

Join us for a thoughtful & lively discussion of the graphic novel, Twin Cities, by Jose Pimienta.

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?
