Once again, I have partnered with Barnes & Noble to create an exclusive edition of one of my books — which is only available at those bookstores.

What do you get with it? Let’s start with the book jacket: it is specially-designed, with a free, exclusive poster on the inside.

I have also written plenty of bonus content for the book itself: sixteen extra pages of fun stuff that will add to the story (and hopefully make you laugh a bit too).

And how much more will this all cost you? Not one extra cent! The exclusive editions is the exact same price as the regular book.  So why not get it?

PS. I know I am not saying much about what is actually in the sixteen pages of bonus content. That’s because explaining it might spoil the rest of the book. So please please please don’t write to ask me what’s in it. It’s won’t be able to tell you. You’ll just have to see it for yourself when you get the book.

Many people have been asking me about this book over the past few months, so I am happy to finally be able to share some information about it with you. (It took some time for everyone at my publisher to agree on a title and cover.)

Anyhow, here’s the cover, created, as usual, by the amazing Lucy Cummins::

And here’s the synopsis:

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?

The book will be released on March 24, 2026. Although if you would like to preorder it, you can do that by clicking here.

I admit, I failed to get the news out about the exclusive edition of All Ears very far ahead of time — so I am trying to do better with the new, amazing graphic novel edition of Space Case.

As has been the case with almost all of my books, Barnes & Noble is printing an exclusive edition of the graphic novelization of Space Case. This one features Dashiell’s annotated version of the Resident’s Guide to MBA  — and yet, it’s the exact same price as the regular version of the book!

And just for fun, here’s some character art from the GN, courtesy of the amazing artist, Ward Jenkins.

Hi everyone –

I probably should have announced this weeks ago, but there is an exclusive edition of All Ears available from Barnes & Noble.

What makes it exclusive?  The cover, for starters.  It’s got this awesome shimmery mirroring effect that the regular book doesn’t have.

And inside the cover, there’s a special bonus poster.

There’s also fourteen pages of bonus material that I wrote that you can only get in this edition.

And it’s the exact same price as the regular edition!

But it’s only available while supplies last!

And just for fun, here’s a nice photo of an elephant.

I am thrilled to announce that the Moon Base Alpha series is being turned into a graphic novel series — and the first book, Space Case, will be out on August 19, 2025!

Ward Jenkins, the illustrator, has done an incredible job and the book looks AMAZING!

For starters, here’s the cover.

The other books in the series will be turned into graphic novels as well. (Probably one a year for 2026 and 2027.)

Hey folks –

Apologies.  I probably should have announced this earlier, but it’s been a rough year so far.

Anyhow, the Spy Ski School graphic novel comes out in two weeks, on March 4 — and yes, as with all the other GNs, Barnes & Noble will be offering an exclusive edition. Each book comes with bonus content — for exactly the same price as the regular edition!

Hi Everyone-

I believe I have received more emails and other messages from readers asking about the details of this book than any I have ever written.

So here you go:

First, the cover:

Some fun info about this cover:  This image doesn’t really do it justice. For the hardcover book (and possibly the paperback) it will have a special effect!  When you shift the cover, the Spy Guy silhouette will appear and disappear. It’s so cool!

And now for the plot:

In the thirteenth book in Stuart Gibbs’s New York Times bestselling Spy School series, middle school superspy Ben Ripley goes off the grid to eliminate a cybersecurity threat.

After a devious computer hacker pulls off the CIA’s worst-case scenario, shutting down power networks all over the world, Ben and his fellow spies-in-training are forced to make a harrowing emergency landing of their plane in Indonesia. While chaos begins to erupt around the planet, Ben deduces that his team is closer to the mysterious hacker’s base than anyone else. But with all computers and phones down, there’s no way to communicate with anyone at the CIA. On their latest mission to save the world, Ben and his friends face a conniving villain, assassins, pirates, sharks, and very big lizards in the most remote—and deadly—location of any spy school yet!

This book will be available on October 7, 2025.

P.S.: As always, I am limiting the information that I share about this book (and all books to come) in order to make reading it more enjoyable for you. The less you know, the more surprises there will be. Therefore, if anyone posts questions in the comments asking for more information, I will simply direct you to read this entire post once again.

I am thrilled to finally announce a project that I have been working on with Simon & Schuster for the past year:

Whether you’re a young writer looking for tips, a teacher hoping to educate your students about creative writing, or a homeschooler looking for some fun new lessons, Mission: Write should appeal to you.  There are currently six videos (with more coming in the future) hosted by me — and accompanying lesson plans written by the brilliant educator, Rose Brock.

Best of all, it’s free!  So take a look for yourself.  Just click here to watch and learn!

I, along with many of my favorite writers (and probably yours), have contributed to this amazing anthology:

In a collection of personal stories and essays, award-winning and bestselling authors write about how hope always wins, even in the darkest of times.  Here are just a few of the people who contributed to this book: Tom Angleberger, Sarah Mlynowski, Max Brallier, Julie Buxbaum, Pablo Cartaya, J. C. Cervantes, Rex Ogle, Matt de la Peña, Adam Gidwitz, R.L. Stine, Veera Hiranandani, Hena Khan, Karina Yan Glaser, James Ponti, Soman Chainani, Pam Munoz Ryan, Christina Soontornvat and Gordon Korman.  And oh yeah, the cover art is by Vashti Harrison, and the whole book is edited by the amazing Rose Brock.

I have read all these stories, and they are all truly wonderful.  If you have ever wanted to know more about the lives of your favorite authors, this is your chance.

The book is now available everywhere books are sold. Get it now by clicking here.

This should be pretty obvious from the title of this post, but Once Upon A Tim just got a rave review from the New York Times.

You can read the whole thing by clicking here, but here are some notable quotes:

“Fans of heraldic silliness like “The Princess Bride” and “Shrek” will delight in “Once Upon a Tim,” a charming take on the traditional knightly adventure.”

“The book’s fun comes from Gibbs’s deployment of deadpan humor and boisterous slapstick. Its heart lies in a clever subversion of type.”

“Writing may be magic, but so is reading.”

“This giddy romp through a medieval setting, complete with menacing trolls and gigantic, bloodthirsty butterflies, is the start of a promising series.”

Excited?  Ready for a good story?  Then just click here to order the book!

Also, I am happy with any good review, especially ones from readers.  So if you have enjoyed Tim (or any of my books) feel free to post a positive review on Goodreads.  Just click here.
