Not many people know the last name of identical twins Tegan & Sara, also the name of their indie pop band. The duo have released nine studio albums and sold more than a million records. Having collected three Juno awards, a Governor General's Performing Arts Award and a Grammy nomination, they have played on some of the world's biggest stages. Now, they have published a coming-of-age memoir, High School (Simon & Schuster $32.95) about skipping school, dropping acid, fighting over their landline telephone (remember those?), hanging out at the mall and getting facial piercings. Some of their favourite performers at the time included Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Ani DiFranco and Courtney Love. 978-1-9821-1266-0
