Here’s the news you’ve been waiting for: The title, cover and plot of Spy School #14!

Uncategorized

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.

Erica kicking bad guys butts, Ben figuring out Murray’s plans and most exciting book I think is “Spy school at sea” I like this book the most cuz Erica and Ben sitting in a tree K.I.S. alright what am I doing. Anyways I like the book because ya you know Erica and Ben at the last part of the book became you know, welp I hope you have a good day! BYEEE!

And just one more thing before I post this comment, will Ben and Erica breakup or will the get married. P.S. I know this is a weird question. BYEEEE!!!

  6. matt

    Ben and Erica are still awfully young to get married. That’s not going to be happening in this series.

  7. Hi Mr. Gibbs! 😀
    I really just appreciate the way you write these books, before. I didn’t really like to read because some books were just plain boring, so my sister suggested me Spy School. I absoloutley LOVED IT!!!! I love how you are book 14 will be coming out and I am so hyped up to read it! I love your books overall, they keep getting better and better! You inspire me to become a writer one day and I hope you keep doing more SS books! I am also hyped that Disney finally agreed to having a series on Spy School! I send you my congrats and support all the way! <3

  8. Ry=Ry

    I am very pleased to learn that you have enjoyed my books — but I would also say that there are LOTS of great books out there that are not boring at all. Now that you have enjoyed mine, I hope you will fiond lots of others that you enjoy as well!

  11. Hi Mr. Gibbs! I follow the entire Spy School series and can’t wait for Book 14! I’m from Iran and I’d love to know your thoughts on my country. Have you ever been here? It would be amazing if the spies could visit Iran in one of the books, since they’ve traveled everywhere else! Thanks so much for reading this.

  12. MIKE BREZINSKY

    I have never visited Iran. Hopefully, one day this war will be over and we will be able to visit each other’s countries again. (I am not a fan of this war and think our president was foolish for starting it.)

  13. Hello Mr. Gibbs Its me one of your fans who loves your books i have a question for you thats been nagging me since i finished your 13th book :Will Murray hill return in spy school goes east i was really looking forward to him returning in spy school black out as well as the three remnants of Spyder: Joshua Hallal, Ashley sparks , and Warren Reeves

  14. Dear Mr. Gibbs,
    I am a fan of yours and your book series.
    You may know that I am from Iran, as I have left comments for you before. I have a big request: would you be willing to include my name (Kiarash Hadinezhad) as a character in on of your Spy School books? It doesn’t matter if it is a main character or a minor one. If, for any reason, you cannot agree to this, I certainly won’t be upset.
    Thank you,
    -Kiarash

  15. Hi Mr.Gibbs! I’m a huge fan of your work. I do have a question though, will Erica and Ben ever breakup? Pls say no they are such a cute couple! Also, will we be seeing more of Trixie?

  16. Jason Bechtel

    I cannot reveal anything else about what might happen in SSGE. The book comes out ion only a few weeks. I don’t want to spoil anything.

  18. Veronica Abay –

    Sorry, but I can’t reveal what will happen in future books. Every with things like personal relationships.

  20. I love your books and can’t wait for your next one! (I’m still on the British Invasion though.) your books keep me reading whenever i can

  24. Eoin –

    Please see my FAQ page for answers to your questions about where my ideas came from — and whether I can put people’s names in my books.

  26. I just want to say, when I was younger I thought Spy School was boring, but now I realize it is the BEST BOOK EVER. Me and my friend always enjoy the plot twists. You never know who is going to betray who and how things will work out. Anyways, I would like for you to add my name in the book after Spy School Goes East. Thanks in advance!

  28. I think it’s unfair that you named Mike after one of the other commenter’s names in the Spy School series, but not mine.

  29. Haset Hagos –

    Mike was named in 2010, when I started writing the book. Which was probably before anyone who has commented on this site recently was born. So maybe one of my commenters was named after the character, not the other way around.

  31. I’m not sure what other things you have, but I’m not sure. If I’m asking something that has already been asked I am so sorry.

  32. I live in China and I can’t wait to find out how this book goes! I’ve just been to the Great Wall so I think that helps

  33. Haset Hagos

    You can tell me about fanfic that you have written but I cannot promise that I will have time to read it. I get sent a lot of fanfic.

  35. There are only 2 days left and I’m doing a countdown. Thanks for all the effort you put in your books. Me, my sister, and my brother can’t wait, but I’m still on Spy School British Invasion. Anyways, will we ever get Catherine’s back story?

  36. Haset Hagos

    It’s certainly possible that you’ll get some more backstory for Catherine. But I can’t promise anything.

  37. My siblings love your book. I can’t wait to read it. (The reason I haven’t read it yet is because I’m on Spy School at Sea). Anyways, your books are the absolute best. I hope you have a great day!

  38. Hello, Mr. Gibbs. I love this book; it is the best book I have ever read. I wanted to know how many volumes the series will have?
    You inspired me to write my own book.

  40. Hello, I’ve been reading this book series for ages and I keep returning to it. I also love the MBA series and I’ve dabbled in FunJungle.
    I had just been thinking, “I hope the next book is set in Japan/Korea/China/East Asia in general.” So I opened up the website and BOOM! Spy School Goes East is out five days ago! What a pleasant coincidence! I can’t wait for the book to reach my local library!

    Alright, I’ll get to the point.
    I wonder if the next book in the series could take place in the Middle East/East Mediterranean/ Gulf States area? I think that it could be an excellent setting for the next adventure. I guess currently it would be a tad political but it would still be interesting.
    (Murray Hill stuffing himself with falafel and fried kibbeh, think about it)

  41. I thought about setting again,
    What if the team were to travel up the West Coast (LA-SF-Portland-Seattle-Vancouver) to escape the villain? A title I propose for this new book is “Spy School Road Trip”

  42. Hanna Rohr

    I have definitely been thinking about the Middle East / Gulf States for a location for a book. But there are lots of other amazing places to set the books as well. So I can’t promise anything.

  43. Dear Stuart Gibbs,
    I say that I really like Spy Schol series, but is Spy School the Graphic Novel 5 available to be read online?

    Your Greek fan, Thanasis.

  44. Thanasis –

    None of my books should be available online, except through library services like Libby. The fifth SS graphic, Secret Service, should be available everywhere that you can normally get books, including libraries.

  46. Hello, Mr.Gibbs! I have Indian Family and was wondering if you may ever do a book on where the spies in training go to North and South India? But even if you think you may not you are still my favorite author! Also will the spies encounter Murray again? Thank You for your time, Maha

  47. Maha K

    India would be a great setting foa book someday, but I cannot promise that will happen.

    And I can’t reveal whether or not Murray will show up again. No spoilers!

  48. Hello, I have a suggestion for one of the *Spy School* books: Ben and his friends should come to Iran! I am Iranian, and I would love to see, for once, a foreign book set in Iran.

  50. Haset

    Not only have I read the Whatever After books, but Sarah Mlynowski is one of my closest friends.
