Trivia[]
- In the first book, when Nooroo is explaining the history of the Miraculouses to Hawk Moth, instead of the Greek pottery showcasing Herakles as one of the examples of Miraculous holders, an unknown ancient Egyptian Miraculous holder displayed on a wall with hieroglyphs appears.
- Also, instead of eating a cookie to refuel after Ladybug defeats Stoneheart for the first time, Tikki eats a croissant.
- On the back of the two books, there's an artwork of Alya taking a selfie of herself, Marinette, Adrien, and Nino. Both Marinette's and Adrien's superhero identities, Ladybug and Cat Noir, are seen as the phone's camera filter.
