Hey Mr. Gibbs, I’m experiencing a “book hangover” from the Charlie Thorne series is, I loved it so much. taking a break from reading is not an option for me, but everything else I’ve tried seems dull by comparison . Any suggestions?
Hey Mr. Gibbs. So every single one of your series is loved,, but I was wondering, I, and a lot of other people, are obsessed with Charlie Thorne series. the reason you haven’t written another is because you don’t have the time. But you do have an idea. why don’t you just place a pause on other series to make time for Charlie?
Hey So are you ever going to write another CT books?
Andrew Carbo –
That happened to me a lot when I was younger, but after I started outlining my books, I never got stuck any more.
BookCrashOut –
If you want more books after Charlie, I have written lots of other books. I really can’t say what else is like Charlie out there for Middle grade readers. I wrote Charlie Thorne because I realized that was lacking.
NotTryingToBeRude
I can’t pause the other series because I like writing them and, frankly, they have larger readerships.
just Wondering…
If you look at the other comments in this section, you will see the answer to your question.
Hey Mr Gibbs,
Could you make Charlie Thorne 5 in Italy if you had time I researched that Galileo Galilei is arguably Italy’s most famous scientist, and his life and work have left a lasting legacy.
Zander –
Galileo is a leading contender for CT5 — if i write it.
Dear Mr. Gibbs,
which one of your spy school books do you like the most? Which one do you like the least?

**Subject: My Reputation for Being “Mean”**
Dear Mr. Gibbs,
I hope this letter finds you well—and not currently under surveillance by any international intelligence agencies (though if you are, I expect you’ve only yourself to blame).
Let’s get to the point, shall we?
I’ve recently been made aware, through various “readers” of your books, that I have developed something of a reputation. A *mean* reputation. Words such as “cold,” “intimidating,” “terrifying,” and even “mean old dude” have been thrown around with disturbing frequency. Naturally, I reviewed the material in question (i.e., the *Spy School* series), and I have come to one conclusion:
**You made me this way.**
Yes, I’m talking to *you*, Stuart.
Why, I ask, did you decide that I, Cyrus Hale—former MI6 agent, master of espionage, fluent in more languages than most people have teeth—should come across as a grumpy, humorless disciplinarian? I mean, sure, I may be a bit stern. And demanding. And perhaps I once threatened to dismember a student with a letter opener (though let’s be honest, it was a *teaching moment*). But still—”mean”?
You had every opportunity to present me as a charming rogue with a mysterious past. A gentleman spy. Perhaps even a father figure with a heart of gold hidden beneath a Kevlar vest. Instead, you gave me “scary uncle who probably hides booby traps in his kitchen” energy.
I train future spies, Stuart. I do not coddle them. If Benjamin Ripley can’t handle a little sarcasm and a few life-or-death missions, perhaps he should have joined chess club instead. And yet *I* get labeled the villain for insisting on discipline and basic situational awareness?
But fine. I accept my role. Every story needs a stern mentor. Just know this:
If you *ever* have me slip on a banana peel, dance embarrassingly at a school function, or show *emotion*, I will personally rappel out of your books, find your laptop, and delete the next ten chapters.
With all due respect (and several hidden weapons),
**Cyrus Hale**
Former MI6 Agent,
Current Victim of Character Assassination
P.S. I’m watching you. But then, you knew that already, didn’t you?

HI MR GIBBS
I am a big fan of your Spy School Series. My fav one is Spy School goes Wild. Its soooo funny when Murray has to drink elephant poop and Ben finds the water bottle right after. I have a few random questions that I would like to ask you:
1. Who is the guy on the cover on every spy school book
2. What is the next Spy School going to be called
3. What was your fav spy school book to write
I am interested in the second question, although you might say that you do not want to spoil it.
Sorry, I didn’t see the double, because my computer was glitching
Mr Gibbs
I am sorry
I read your no spoiler post right after I posted this one
Im sorry?
Sorry, I didn’t see the double, because my computer was glitching!
Aden Hale –
I spend years working on each book, so there is no way that I can pick a favorite — and no way that I would have a least favorite. I had a lot of fun doing the research for Blackout, but also for many of the other books, so it’s hard to say which was even the most fun.
Erica_Hale_Fan_
1) The character on the cover is simply called ‘Spy Guy’ at my publisher. Spy Guy is not supposed to be any character in particular. It could shift from book to book.
2) I do not know the title of the next book. I don’t come up with titles until I am done writing, so there may not be a title for several months.
3) I do not have a favorite SS book. I spend too much time working on all of them to feel that one is better than the others.
Dear Mr. Gibbs, would you consider making a crossover book with James Ponti and the City Spies?
Aden Hale –
I am very close friends with James Ponti — and we have both decided that writing a crossover between our series would be incredibly difficult. Our styles are very different; our worlds are very different; and we both have so many characters that it is hard to give them all time in our own series. So a crossover is not in the works.
Dear Mr. Gibbs,
I love Charlie Thorne so much. Please write another, I am begging you. I know you can’t find the time, but any chance you could make the time? You’ve already officially ended the MBA series, and the Last musketeer, so doesn’t that mean that you have even more time to write??? if you’re struggling with ideas, A book abt Galeo, Marie Curry, or Nicola Tesla could be good stories. I’m Really sorry for bothering you, thanks for reading. I really hope you find the time to write/ reasearch for the next awesome and addicting adventure of Charlie.
Sincerly, BookObsessed
Mr. Gibbs, I am still on my Book Hangover over CT. I just can’t find any books that are close to how amazing the book is. Pease write another.
Hey Mr. Gibbs! I read a preview of spy school blackout and really liked it. Is a “birthday cake” some sort of blackout? I have a hold on it too. I really love all of your books!
BookObsessed –
I suppose that, if I could figure out how to not sleep, I could write another CT. Other than that, or time travel, I’m not sure how one would make time.
Nivian –
I can’t explain anything from the book on this website. No spoilers. Sorry. The whole point of the preview is to get you to want to read more.
It’s fine. I have a hold on it in my library but it always takes long to get to me, even though I am 4th in line. My friend claims that Catherine is a double agent in Spy School Blackout, but I don’t think that’s true. Please back me up on that
Hello! My name is Cooper, and I’m a huge fan of your books (my favorite series is probably Charlie Thorne or Spy School). Right now, I’m really into acting. I’ve performed at 5 plays in my town, and one play at the Theatre Royal in Bath, England. I really want to be an actor when I grow up, so if – by any chance – the Spy School movie does get made, I would love to play a part in it. I’m thirteen years old, but due to privacy reasons, I’m not going to give you my full name yet. Just know that I am a real human being that lives near Boston, Massachusetts. Sorry that this message is a bit lengthy, but if you ever get the thumbs-up from a studio or company, please email me. I would love to have the chance. Thank you for your time!
– Cooper
P.S. Preferrably in the next couple years, as I am growing up, but no worries if you can’t. I mostly just want a Spy School movie in general. Good luck!
My email is REMOVED FOR SECURITY REASONS.
Cooper –
If the SS movie gets made, I will not be in charge of casting. That will be up to the casting director.
All I can do is post about open auditions — if there are any.
Also, FYI, you are wise not to put your last name in your message — but then you shouldn’t put your persona email there either. If you want to contact me directly and provately, there is an email address on my FaQ page for that.
I read Spy School Blackout and I really liked Trixie’s role in the book. Overall, I would give it a 5/5.
Hi I’m Andrew Carbo Actor I’ve been in many musicals in PA such as Aladdin 2 time first Jafar then Genie Frozen 2 times Kristoph and Olaf I’m currently working with Sevant Stage for a Christmas Carol I’ve done shows at the Fulton Theater too I’ve down a play at Willow valley retirement community and Sussical at Poposky performing arts please suggest me to the casting director for SS if a movie comes out
Dear Mr. Gibbs,
I finished reading Spy School, and I love it. I loved the action, the comedy the characters and more. I hope you continue to make more books, even if they are not Spy School books. Thanks once more.
