![Graphic with the cover of Agent Cupcake (including a cartoon child giving the peace sign with their fingers next to a blue cartoon unicorn in a trench coat) as well as photos of the three authors and the GirlTalkHQ logo cropped circular over a light pink/yellow gradient background.
There is a pull quote from the article that reads: "'Agent Cupcake blends real world knowledge about secret messages, social engineering, spyware, and lock picking with a world where a mermaid can run a spy agency, a griffin can help you break into a safe, and unicorns use their magic to craft horrifyingly cute plushies,' she said.
And at the same time, 'it’s a very human story about learning how to fail, transforming passion into action, and figuring out where you fit in,' said artist Katie Longua."
