I have received a lot of messages from a lot of people wanting to know about this book. So I will not draw things out any longer. Here is the new cover and title:
And here is the synopsis:
When the seasoned adult spies of the Hale family mysteriously disappear on a mission to China, Ben Ripley and his fellow spies-in-training head east to discover what happened to them—and find themselves up against a villainous plot that will take them from the skyscrapers of Shanghai to the ancient ruins of the Great Wall to the remote regions of the Gobi desert.
It will be available on October 6. Click here to pre-order it! (Although a lot of sites may not have it ready for pre-order yet. They will soon, though.)
Now, here are the answers to a few questions I am sure I will get:
That’s it? That’s all the information you are going to share with us?
Yes. The less you know about a book before you read it, the more fun it is the read. I don’t want to spoil anything.
Can’t you tell me anything else? Even if I ask nicely?
Sorry, no. And if you send me an email or post a comment asking for more info, I will simply direct you back to this page.
Will there be an exclusive edition of this book with bonus content?
Probably, although that isn’t guaranteed yet. If there is, I will post about it.
Now that you have written Goes South, Goes North and Goes east, will there be a Spy School Goes West?
I don’t know. Strange as it might seem, I write the titles of my books last, not first. I wrote this book because I wanted to set a book in China, not because I wanted to call a book ‘Spy School Goes East.’ That title just ended up working better than any of the other options.

I know u probably cant change this because you’ve already planned out your next few books but hear me out: spy school goes west then spy school goes home as the finale of the cardinal direction spin off covers. Good shout anyone?

Even though I have done three cardinal directions in titles, that doesn’t mean I will do West. I come up with the titles after writing the books, not before writing them.
Hi Mr.Gibbs! So excited for this book it’s been my absolute favourite series! Also extremely excited to hear that you are making a 15th book! Definitely gonna preorder Spy school goes east!
Dear Mr.Gibbs, your books are my favorite! Anytime I’m feeling sad or negative, your books always cheer me up. Thank you so much for just being you and writing books and I look forward to see what you do next
