A note from Davide Ortu: I feel very lucky to have been able to bring to life such a charismatic character as Audrey Fry with my illustrations. I quickly connected with her because I have suffered from alopecia since a very young age, which has often been challenging for me. Audrey is everything I wish I could be: confident, daring, funny, and living in her world of wigs and disguises with pride and joy. For me, it has been healing to see how she turns her alopecia into a magnificent opportunity to be the best spy!
