  1. Nivian –

    I can’t explain anything from the book on this website. No spoilers. Sorry. The whole point of the preview is to get you to want to read more.

  2. It’s fine. I have a hold on it in my library but it always takes long to get to me, even though I am 4th in line. My friend claims that Catherine is a double agent in Spy School Blackout, but I don’t think that’s true. Please back me up on that

  3. Hello! My name is Cooper, and I’m a huge fan of your books (my favorite series is probably Charlie Thorne or Spy School). Right now, I’m really into acting. I’ve performed at 5 plays in my town, and one play at the Theatre Royal in Bath, England. I really want to be an actor when I grow up, so if – by any chance – the Spy School movie does get made, I would love to play a part in it. I’m thirteen years old, but due to privacy reasons, I’m not going to give you my full name yet. Just know that I am a real human being that lives near Boston, Massachusetts. Sorry that this message is a bit lengthy, but if you ever get the thumbs-up from a studio or company, please email me. I would love to have the chance. Thank you for your time!

    – Cooper

    P.S. Preferrably in the next couple years, as I am growing up, but no worries if you can’t. I mostly just want a Spy School movie in general. Good luck!

    My email is REMOVED FOR SECURITY REASONS.

  4. Cooper –

    If the SS movie gets made, I will not be in charge of casting. That will be up to the casting director.

    All I can do is post about open auditions — if there are any.

    Also, FYI, you are wise not to put your last name in your message — but then you shouldn’t put your persona email there either. If you want to contact me directly and provately, there is an email address on my FaQ page for that.

  5. I read Spy School Blackout and I really liked Trixie’s role in the book. Overall, I would give it a 5/5.

  6. Hi I’m Andrew Carbo Actor I’ve been in many musicals in PA such as Aladdin 2 time first Jafar then Genie Frozen 2 times Kristoph and Olaf I’m currently working with Sevant Stage for a Christmas Carol I’ve done shows at the Fulton Theater too I’ve down a play at Willow valley retirement community and Sussical at Poposky performing arts please suggest me to the casting director for SS if a movie comes out

  7. Dear Mr. Gibbs,

    I finished reading Spy School, and I love it. I loved the action, the comedy the characters and more. I hope you continue to make more books, even if they are not Spy School books. Thanks once more.

    -Aden Hale

  8. Dear Mr. Stuart Gibbs,

    My name is Parker and I LOVE YOUR books. And I would love to meet you in person.
    Except I live in Maine and you don’t have book signings here.

    Sincerely,
    Parker

  9. Dear Mr.Stuart Gibbs,

    Will there be a CT graphing novel series.

    Have a great day
    Sincerely,
    Parker

  10. Parker –

    I would love to do a signing in Maine someday. I was actually in that state at the beginning of May, doing some hiking. But it’s awfully far from where i live and, more importantly, I have never been invited to do a signing in Maine. Not by a school or a bookstore or a library. I can’t visit anywhere unless someone invites me.

  11. Parker –

    At this time there are no plans for a CT graphic novel, but that could change in the future.

  12. WARNING- IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE CHARLIE THORNE OR SPY SCHOOL SERIES, STOP READING. THIS INCLUDES SPOILERS.

    Hey Mr. gibbs! I love all your books so much, given that I’ve only read the CT series and I’m only at the begining of SS : secret service books tho. I am in love with the drama .

    SPOILERS REMOVED

    QUESTIONS ( most r abt CT b/c I haven’t finished SS. yet)

    1. Does Charlie have PTSD? she’s always cautious, pushing back and hiding her feelings, and seems to always be scared when she sees ppl die. If yes, from what?
    2. any idea if we’re ever going to see Charlie’s parents in the books
    3. This ones kinda random, but me and my bro. disagree on this. What color is Erica from SS, ‘s hair color? I imagine her to have black hair, while my bro. is convinced she’s blonde. I’ve googled it, but websites can’t seem to agree either.

    Thanks for reading this. Sorry it’s so long

  13. Hey, Sorry to bother you, but I’ve got a few questions abt the Charlie Thorne series. No worries if you don’t want to answer them.

    1. Does Charlie like having the knowledge she’s been given? I personally imagine that she hates being the only one with pandora and having the weight of the world on her shoulders, but I was wondering what you think.

    2. What’s the deal with Isaac Semel? SPOILER REMOVED

    3. Does Jamilia carter have a grudge against Charlie for SPOILER REMOVED

    I know that you’ve asked fans to not send in ideas for books, but since you may be struggling with ideas, I have one, no worries if you don’t want to read it tho. Here It is: in the next (or one in the future)CT book what if instead of finding a hidden discovery that can destroy the world, they instead uncovered the truth to a lie, or less known fact, abt history. History is written by it’s victors, so what if the crew dicovered something the victors didn’t want to be known? maybe a note from someone of the victorious side leading clues to the final message, in belief that that the truth deserves to be told, but worried at ppl seeing the act as treason or something. Thanks for reading, once agian sorry ignoring the whole “no sugestions thing” I just rlly needed to get that thought out.

  14. Zoe –

    I appreciate your kind words about my books, but there is an email listed on my FAQ page which is a way to write to me without posting spoilers.

    To answer your questions:

    1) If I was writing books for adults, I might consider letting my heroes have PTSD (although there’s a long history of adult heroes who should probably have it who don’t). But I do want Charlie’s reactions to death, etc, to be realistic for someone her age.

    2) I don’t think that Charlie’s parents have much place in the series.

    3) Erica’s hair is dark. But she dyes it blonde in Evil Spy School to go undercover.

  15. Jacob –

    1) Charlie does not like being saddled with the knowledge she has been given. I am pretty sure this comes up in the books.

    2) Isaac Semel has a very difficult job, as does anyone in his position. Sometimes, his job puts his at cross purposes with his values.

    3) I am not sure how many of the books you have read, but I would argue that Jamilla does not have a grudge against Charlie.

  18. I just finished reading black out it was great for your next spy school or Charlie Thorne could you include C.S.I.S the Canadian cia ? Or just wright a new series all together

  19. Some dude

    I can’t really take suggestions from readers, but I am always looking for a way to do something in Canada.

  21. Oh and sorry for this but I have some questions
    1. Who is the guy on the page
    2. how long do you think about the book
    thank you for taking the time to read this and possibly responding
    (my other comments did not go though. this is my third try.

  22. sorry I did not know my other post went though
    sorry
    u do not have to reply to this one

  23. Hey could one of your books preferably spy school introduce a character with a neurological disorder?

  24. Anonymous –

    Not sure what kind of neurological disorder you are thinking of here, or how severe. Some of those are very serious (like Parkinson’s Disease, which my mother died from). It could be very difficult for me to deal with a very serious neurological issue in a series as silly as Spy School, though I suppose it could happen.

  25. Because I said that thing about C.S.I.S does that mean you can’t use c.s.I.s in oyu books anymore?

  26. Somedude –

    Just because I can’t take suggestions from readers, that doesn’t mean tht if a reader cuggests something, I am barred from every using it. Especially if its something like CSIS that actually exists in the world.

  27. Hi Mr. Gibbs :D. I really like your books; they have accompanied me since elementary school and has brought a significant amount of joy to my life. I just wanted to say thank you for all the books you have written. :DDDD

  29. Are you going to make more books in the Spy School series? I read Spy School goes Wild in one day and I also read Spy School goes North in one day. I read all of your last 3 booked each of them in their own day. I haven’t read blackout though.

    P.S can you please reply as quickly as you can because I am reading blackout right now.

  31. Hey Mr. Gibbs, thank you so much for taking your precious time to read these comments. I just wanted to say I think you are a great author and I love your books. The drama is so interesting and I love the personalities of the characters, I litteraly get attached to them. You are so amazing and good at your job.

  32. H Stuart Gibbs!
    I have read all of you’re books and can’t wait for new ones in the years to come!
    (Okay, I’ve not read Blackout yet, my library has to get it).
    I especially love the Charlie Thorne books and LOVE the one about Cleopatras Curse. (I love Ancient Egypt)!
    I really want to be able to write 400 page books like you, but the closest I’ve gotten is 189. And I am probably going to toss that one because it makes 0% sense.
    (Maybe because a first grader wrote the first part).
    I also heard that another author I like, James Ponti, is friends with you. Is that true? If so, I think it would just be hilarious if you turn out to be friends with another author I like- Gordon Korman. Please let me know if you are.
    You’re No. #1 fan,
    Charlie Thorne

  34. I want a movie on mba series please it be so much fun watching it would be such a good movie I am a big fan its the best series but in my opinion my favorite series is mba I like all of your books to be honest

  35. Charlie Thorne –

    First of all, yes, I am good friends with James Ponti. I just saw him last week!

    And I am also good friends with Gordon Korman. I will be with him soon at Yallfest in Charleston, SC!

    As for writing long books… I would advise against TRYING to write things that are long and instead focus on just telling your story. (When I write books, they aren’t 400 pages on my computer. They end up 400 pages after the publisher typesets them.) Just write the best story that you can. If you try to make it longer than it should be, it will feel like you padded it.

  36. Thank you for the advice! And also, YAY! Now I can say all my favorite authors are friends. Thank you for getting back to me!
    Happily,
    Charlie Thorne

  37. Okay, I know this is probably a I already know answer to this, but has anyone realized the capybara?

  38. BTW, first of all, I love your Spy School books, ( especially Goes Wild), and are you planning to make a new series ( like entirely new ) sometime soon? and, I know probably hundreds of people have asked you this before, but can we have Ben captured by enemy agents more? ( that’s the whole reason I liked Spy School Goes Wild) Thanks!

  40. Emmie –

    I try to do different things in every book, so since I just did one about ben getting captured by enemy agents, I probably won’t do that again. (Or not for a long time, at least.)

    As far as starting a new series, that’s possible… although it won’t be soon.

  42. Stuart Gibbs-
    I was going through your FAQs page and say the movies you helped write, are those all of the movies you have written?
    Also, do you have to get up early to get writing?
    Sincerely,
    Charlie Thorne

  43. Charlie Thorne –

    I wrote a few movies under a pseudonym because I was not happy with the finished products.

    I believe that it is important to get a good night’s sleep to have a good day of writing, do I don’t get up terribly early.

  44. I know this is off topic, but capybaras are you’re fav animal, right?
    Do you have any pets?
    Could you do Zoom thing for homeschoolers?
    Sincerely,
    Charlie Thorne

  46. Charlie Thorne –

    Actually, elephants are my favorite animals.

    I have a dog.

    I can Zoom with homeschoolers, but i still have to charge the same fee that I would charge a regular school because it’s the same time commitment.

    A pseudonym is a fake name.
