Everybody has one special secret, Cici figures, and if you want to write about people, you need to understand what's hiding inside them.

Author Notes:

Joris Chamblain was born on January 29, 1984. He stumbled into graphic novels when he was very little and decided at an early age that comics would be his career. Nowadays he devotes all his time to writing comics and books for kids, and even trying his hand at a novel. He and his many artistic collaborators have quite a few projects in the works.

Aurélie Neyret is an illustrator from Lyon, France. When she was little, she loved to hide away and read all night long, and--more than anything else--to draw! Today, her approach to life hasn't changed much, and she works hard to bring her projects to fruition.
