  1. Hi Mr. Gibbs
    I was wondering if f Spy School Secret Files will effectively end the Spy School series, or if it is just a side novel, and the series will continue as normal.

  2. Max –

    If you look at my FAQ page, there are explanations for how I came up with all of my different series.

    Coming up with any character — or any part of a book — can be the result of weeks or months or maybe even years of playing around with different ideas. The scene on the Tower Bridge was inspired by a visit to the Tower Bridge, while Alexander’s character was developed over many years of my tinkering with the idea for Spy School.

    Since MBA takes place in the future and Spy School takes place in the present, that idea will unfortunately not work.

    The Spy School series will continue as normal. There is not reason that me writing a book full of real spy stories should stop me from coming up with fake ones.

  5. Hi Mr.Gibbs,I have a question do you have a favorite notice and note signpost when you write your books, and if you do please let me know. Here are the 6 signposts I am reffering to, Again&Again,Aha Moment,Contrast&Contradiction,Words of the Wiser,Tough Question, or Memory Moment.

  6. Ishaan Karmilla –

    Not only do I not have a favorite note or note signpost, I didn’t even know what you were talking about. (I just looked them up.) So I guess maybe I’m an aha moment person, because those happen a lot in my books… but I don’t really know.

  7. Hello Mr.Gibbs I have 2 questions for you about Fun jungle, 1) Have you ever considered turning the FunJungle series into a graphic novels? 2) Since you studied Capybaras when you were in college,have you ever considered making a Fun jungle book about a (ex.stolen) Capybara?

  8. hi Mr. Gibbs
    I was wondering if the Charlie Thorn sires takes place in the same time period as spy school

  9. Geetha –

    The answer to both of your questions is yes.

    Although it is really my publisher’s decision as to whether or not FJ gets turned into a Graphic novel.

    And I hadn’t done a capybara mystery because for a long time, no one knew what they were. Their popularity only happened within the last five years.

  10. Preston Sanders

    Both Charlie Thorne and Spy School are written to feel as though they could be taking place right now, so yes, they are in the same time period.

  11. Have you ever had a name for a book but scrapped it and changed it for example if your original name for funjungle was something like Jungle Mysteries but then you changed it.

  12. Ishaan –

    I have had many titles for books that changed, or many titles that I have considered. However, the FunJungle series was always just called FunJungle.

  13. Hi Mr. Gibbs,
    I had an idea were a bunch of characters from different series of yours meet at a summer camp. I was originaly going to tell you this idea but then I figured you have gotten this idea told to you by many people and you are very busy. so can I make write this story with the characters from your different books and then email it to you? I would not use it for anything and just show it to my cousin who also loves your books.

  14. Zipper –

    You are correct that crossovers are suggested to me often by readers, and at this time i am not planning on writing one. But if you want to write something an email it to me (see my FAQ page for details) that is fine with me!

  15. I love all of your books that I read, but what is the 15 Spy School novel going to be called

  16. willie –

    I do not come up with titles until I finish writing the books. So the reason that I haven’t posted the title for SS15 is because I don’t know what the title is yet.

  17. Hi Mr. Gibbs,
    I really love your books. You are my favorite author. Once I pick up your books I can’t put them down. I have a few questions. Why are Charlie Thorne books harder to write than other books? Why do none of the FunJungle books take place at FunJungle anymore? Is the director of the CIA the same in Charlie Thorne and Spy School? Are you ever going to make a Charlie Thorne graphic novel? Sorry for all the questions but I really love your books.

  18. Anonymous

    Have you read a Charlie Thorne book? If so, you have probably noticed how much research goes into each one. That’s what takes so long.

    I switched the FJ books out of FunJungle to allow me the ability to tell different mysteries.

    No, the director of the CIA is not the same. Those series are not in the same universe.

    I would love for there to be a CT GN but that decision is up to my publisher.

  19. hello Mr Gibbs
    I just realized that spy school goes east releases on my birthday

  20. I was just wondering do you have any sort of release schedule like one FJ then one SS the one CT for example so we could know what kind of book to expect after SS #15 thank you

  21. capybara

    I post all my info about upcoming releases on every page of this website. That is all the info I have at this time. The moment I know a book’s approximate release date, I put it on that list.

  22. Stuart Gibbs, what do you think of Canvas being hacked and just cybersecurity this year in general?

  23. johnB

    Any hacking is bad.

    Among the other things our current administration has gutted is our national cybersecurity. That’s incredibly short-sighted. Cybersecurity is extremely important for all of us.

  24. Hello Mr Gibbs
    What are benjamin and ericas middle names? If you don’t know can you make them up please?
    Also can you include more easter eggs in your book like when you mentioned that some of the best middle grade novelists when to university of pennsylvania in Project X?
    Thank you

  25. FutureStuart

    I answered this question in the other place where you asked it.
