Here are the books that are coming in 2026

Uncategorized

Hi all!  2026 is going to be a big year!

First up, on March 24, 2026 there’s the newest book in the FunJungle series, Ape Escape.

When a baby gorilla is stolen from an orphanage in Rwanda, Teddy, his parents, and an old family friend find themselves in a race against time to save it. Teddy has to piece together clues to figure out where the little ape is being taken while traveling through some of the most incredible—and dangerous—terrain in the world.

At the same time, he’s long-distance consulting with Summer to help solve another mystery back at FunJungle. Between facing down lions on the Serengeti and chasing poachers through the bazaars of Zanzibar, will Teddy be able to find the baby gorilla before it’s too late?

I’m pleased to announce that, once again, there will be an exclusive edition of this one available from Barnes & Noble, featuring an exclusive jacket, an annotated map of—plus bonus content that features Teddy’s safari checklist, fun animal facts and more!

And those are not the only books coming out in 2026.

There will also be the fourteenth Spy School novel in the fall (although I am not ready to share details  — and it does not even have a title yet).

And there may be another book coming late in the year, although the details about that must remain classified for now.

However, keep checking this website for details!  There’s much more to come!

  1. What! There’s a spy school movie coming out! No way. What’s it going to be about? Is it going to be animated? Also, just curious are you planning to release a new Charlie Throne book?

  3. GillespieStudent –

    I don’t recall saying that there was a SS movie. Where did you hear that?

    I have no new CT book scheduled at this time.

  4. JPH Earl of Dutenhamm

    I start writing my books on yellow pads and then type them on a Mac.

  5. Hello Mr. Gibbs, I was just wondering why the SSSS GN cover is the only one where the spy is holding the sign. Thank you.

  6. Emilio –

    I don’t know. I don’t design the covers. I guess the artist just thought that looked good.

  8. YAYYA –

    I am not sure what news you are referring to. I have not announced a new Charlie Thorne.

  9. Mr Gibbs, this may be a ridiculous question, but if you could time travel to the year 2045, and see how many books you wrote, how many Spy School books would you see?

  12. Ditch Boy –

    If I were to keep writing one SS book a year, which is my pace now, then there would be another 20 books by 2045, or 33 altogether. I don’t think the series will run quite that long though.

  13. Ditch Boy –

    I do not know exactly how many SS books there will be. As of right npw, I have 43 published books and graphic novels.

  16. gillispiestudent

    I would love for there to be GNs of all of my books. However, the decision is really up to my publisher. As of right now, there is no CT GN planned.

  18. Mr. Gibbs –
    I love your books, and wish I could write like you!
    Do you have any tips (besides the ones you posted) on how to write a Novel that is enthralling and hooks the reader(s) attention!
    Also, have you ever visited Westbriar Elementary School before? All of the students there would love if you could do a zoom meeting with us.
    Sincerely,
    BigBear, a sixth grade student.

  19. Hey. A few months ago, someone vandalized your Wikipedia article and left a note saying you like chicken nuggets. So I’m curious. Do you actually like chicken nuggets?

  20. BigBear –

    Between the info that I posted and the links to the video series i did, I feel like i have shared all the advice that I have.

    You’ll have to be more specific about where Westbriar Elementary School is. If your school would like me to visit, they have to ask me. Please direct your teachers to the school visits page on this website.

  22. just a question, can you make funjungle 11 named oh deer, I know that a common deer is boring but you made lion down about a cougar you could make it about an antilope.

  23. also I know this sounds selfish but if you write oh deer can you dedicate it to misha braude? middle school life is boring and it would be really cool to show my friends that a famous author dedicated a book to me?

    thanks,

    misha

  24. misha jkf

    I don’t come up with titles first and then write the books. I write the books and then come up with the titles. And I don;t mean to sound rude, but dedications are always done for people who are very special to an author. If an author owes someone thanks, as for coming up with a title, that would go in the acknowledgements.

  25. I just got a signed copy of the spy school blackout book and the signature looks like it says st—t gilli and it’s so beautiful thank you lol!

  26. Dear Mr. Gibbs,

    This is pure fan mail.
    I love your books.
    I understand from your postings that the publisher decides what becomes a GN, but I hope some day to see a GN of FunJungle.
    That would be awesome.
    Thank you!
    Yours Sincerely,

  31. EZ THE FASTEST FAN

    Apologies but I can’t allow access to sites for people that I don’t know from this site.

    Also, I produce more books than pretty much any other author. I really can;t work any faster than this.

  32. Hi Mr. Gibbs:
    Are there clues in earlier books from the Spy School Series that point to a long?term mystery fans haven’t solved yet?

  33. Chicken –

    If there were clues in the books pointing to a long-term mystery, then I couldn’t really admit that, could I?

  34. Hi,
    Do you offer intern positions? Or any offers for high schoolers to be involved?
    Thanks,

  35. Hi, i have a rhetorical question here
    Does each comment get approved by you before publishing on the website? Also, what happens if this blog suddenly grew to a huge number of people, im talking like hundreds of daily people who frequent this page to comment at least once, would you still want to continue answering questions or stop interacting with the numerous commenters?

  36. Hi,
    Would you ever consider acquiring a profile picture? Also, how would I get one on this blog? Also, what’s your favorite color? Also, what’s your favorite thanksgiving food to eat? Also, have you ever coded, if so do you like coding? Also, do you have pets at home? I have a dog and a turtle. Also, I noticed you include lots of dry sarcasm in your books, especially in the Spy School series. Do you ever try to talk to kids, like your children, to ask for tips on humor to try to appeal to the young audience of your books?
    Or do you wing it and write as you will?
    Also, if you were not an author, what job would you have liked to take? (don’t say elephant zookeeper or something related to elephants)
    Also, have you ever had any regrets writing a book?
    Also, what if someone could not solve the math problem required to post a comment? That’d be kinda sad.
    Also, did you make this website yourself, or did someone else do it for you?
    Thanks,

    I do take an intern every year, although I do it through a program at my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. Because of this, I can’t take high schoolers as interns. Sorry.

  38. Polga Solga

    Each new commenter has to be approved by me before they can post. If this blog suddenly got hundreds of comments a day, I probably would not be able to respond to them all. It’s hard enough responding to the comments that I get now.

  39. Elliam Pedoral –

    I do not plan to post a profile picture, although there are plenty of photos of me on the internet.
    My favorite color is blue.
    Pie is my favorite Thanksgiving food.
    I don’t code.
    I have a dog.
    I don’t really ask anyone’s advice on the style of how to write my books. I figured it out myself.
    If I wasn’t an author I really would have become a field biologist.
    I wish that I had made Moon Base Beta closer to completion when I wrote the MBA series.
    If someone can’t solve the math problem, then they probably can’t write a comment.
    I had help making this website, but I maintain it myself.

  43. Have you ever thought of making a book in Disney Land or in San Diego? Having a book or a scene on the Incredicoster would awesome and I mentioned San Diego for three reasons 1) I Iive there 2) it is a beautiful city 3) you also mention in spy school project X Bens parents are now living in San Diego.

  44. gillispiestudent –

    I have thought about setting books in both of those places. But I cannot promise that will happen.

  48. Gabe –

    The reason I have not shared the title of SS14 is that I don’t know what the title is yet. When I know, I will blog about it.

  50. You are one of my favorite authors and I like you as much as C.S Lewis and Andrew Peterson if you know who they are. I think even if you didn’t write any more SS books it would still be one of my favorite series
