Hey everyone –
I know you have been waiting a long time for an update about the Spy School movie — and I am sure this is not what you were hoping for. It’s certainly not what I was hoping for.
After 54 weeks of doing nothing with the movie script, Disney decided that they were not going to move forward with the Spy School movie.
Why? I don’t really have a great answer for that. I was told that Disney had some concerns with the story involving kids in real danger — which you’d think they would have been able to figure out was part of the plot long ago, given the title.
Sadly, this kind of thing happens a lot in Hollywood. As I keep saying, it is very hard to get a movie made.
This does not mean the movie will never get made. My agents can now try to set the project up at another movie studio or streaming service. We will see what happens.
In the meantime, feel free to write angry letters to Disney or cancel your Disney + accounts in protest.

I am generally inspired by just being curious about the world: reading lots of books and magazines, visiting different locations, going to lots of museums and zoos, and talking to experts in all sorts of subjects.
Dear Mr Gibbs, I’m a big fan of the Spy School books, and they’ve inspired me to try writing too. When is SS14 coming out and do you have the name of it? Thanks, Vihan.

All Upcoming Release info is in the Upcoming Releases box on every page of this website.
I do not have a name for SS14 yet.
This movie needs to happen!!! Good luck?
Spy School is the greatest series ever made, Hands Down.
Dear Mr. Gibbs,
My name is Fatima, and I am a ten-year-old secret agent in training and a huge fan of the Spy School series. Even though I’m only ten, I can read and understand your books very well. I study them carefully, like mission briefings, and I never want the mission to end.
This message is classified: I canceled my Disney account because there is no Spy School movie yet. I was really hoping to see one on screen. I sincerely hope a Spy School movie is in development, because I would be first in line to watch it.
I also have a request for headquarters. Could you please add more Spy School books to Kindle Kids? I read many of my missions on my Kindle, and I would be thrilled to have more available there.
Thank you for creating such amazing stories and for training young agents like me through your books.
Secretly yours,
Agent Fatima ?????
Agent Fatima –
Thanks for being a fan — and thanks for your kind words. I believe that all of my books are available on Kindle, but I am not sure about Kindle Kids.
Hi Mr.Gibbs I’ve always loved your books and wondered if you’d ever considered writing a series or version of the book from other characters point of view (Ex. Erica). If not I think that many others and I would find the book enjoyable.

I believe that a big part of the series’s popularity is due to Ben’s voice and that shifting the perspective of the main character would be jarring for most readers. I cannot think of a single series that has ever shifted perspective one book into the series, let alone 13.
Dear Mr. Gibbs, I have two questions:
Do you plan to attend author meetings abroad?
Will there be an acceleration of book translations in Poland, as I only have books translated up to 2022, and later ones are even unavailable for purchase?
Is it possible to order a book with an autograph from abroad?
Best regards ??

My schedule has not allowed for many author events abroad but I hope to do some in the coming years.
I believe that the books are being translated as quickly as possible in Poland. Poland probably has the most accelerated schedule for my books of any country in the world.
I know you can order an autographed book from abroad in the same way that you could order one in America, but the cost of shipping it abroad might be very expensive. There is not much that I can do about international shipping costs.
