1. I mean, yes I guess that would be a way of taking them out of the story, but I kind of meant something a little bit more on the lines of being somebody being brought into the witness protection program for safety, or being brainwashed or something like that.

2. Mr. Gibbs, do you go to the places you use as settings in your books?

3. Hi! I am a huge fan of all your books, especially the spy school series. How many more books do you think you will make of that series, if any? I know you probably are not sure, but do you have a guess?

4. Mary –

   I try to visit as many of the places that I use as settings as I can. Visiting a place is a wonderful way to get inspired. If i can’t get there, I do a lot of research, but it’s not the same as being there.

5. Luciana –

   I don’t know how many books will be in any of my series. The best guess I could make is: Less than twenty more, but more than one.

6. Will you make a book on Erica’s perspective if you will, Will it be a series

7. Will you ever make a prequel in the spy school series

8. Do you mean for all your series, or are you saying that for just spy school?

9. Jennifer Larimore –

   I am not planning to make a book from Erica’s POV. I explain why in a recent comment on this page.

10. Dane –

    I do not know if I will ever write a Spy School preview. I am not planning one at this time.

11. Luciana –

    I’m not sure which of the earlier comments you are referring to. Could you please be more specific with your question?

12. Ellie

    I can’t reveal what might happen to characters in future books.

13. How long do you think it will take you to make the spy school book following ssgn? Also, are you planning on making soy school into a series or movie in the future?

14. I meant, when you said that you are planning on making less than 20 but more than 1 more book in your series, did you mean all the series you write or just the spy school series?

15. SSFan!!!

    I am releasing a new SS book every year. So expect the next SS book a year after SSGN.

    I would love for SS to become a movie or a Tv series, but it hasn’t happened yet.

16. Luciana –

    I meant just the SS series.

17. Hi Mr. Gibbs!! I am such a fan of your SS books, what was your inspiration for your characters?

18. Jerrett –

    Coming up with characters involves a great deal of brainstorming, just like coming up with a plot. When I develop the plot for a book, I also develop the characters. A few characters are inspired by real people, but most as entirely invented.

19. Also, what would you say the reading level for the SS books is?

20. Jerrett –

    I really have no idea what the reading level for the SS books is. I’m not sure how reading levels are even assessed.

21. Omg I’m so excited for spy school goes north!!!
    It’s gonna be soooooooooooooooooo good!
    I can’t wait!

22. Mr. Gibbs –

    What do you think the best qualities of each character are, or even your favorite qualities if you think that they are all great? Also when you nicknamed Erica Hale Ice Queen, did you mean to make it sort of a play on words since her last name is Hale, a homonym of hail, which is literally ice, so ice queen would kind of work both ways? Or is that just me looking way too deep into a nickname?

    – Sasha Rotko

23. Sasha Rotko –

    You are looking a bit too deep into that nickname.

    I can’t really say what the greatest qualities of every character are specifically, but overall, my series honor characters who are smart, loyal and determined to do the right thing.

24. Hello! I have two questions. How long do you think it will take you to release the next spy school book after goes north? And what is the age range for your books? Do you think that people ever become too old to read children’s books? I am going into high school which I know is a bit old for these books but I just love the story and the characters so much!

25. Jaya –

    It will be around a year until the next SS novel comes out. I consider the age range for my books 7 & older — because I really try to write books that people will continue to enjoy as they get older. I hear from lots of college students that they have continued reading my books — and lots of adults who enjoy them. So no, I don’t think people ever become too old to enjoy them.

26. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me! I know you’re a very busy person.

27. I LOOOOVVVVEEEE your FunJungle and SS books!!!!! Thank you so much for writing them!!!

28. FunJungleFan!!!!

    Thanks so much for your enthusiasm.

29. Hello! Do you know what the storyline for the book after SSGN is going to be? And if so, have you already started writing it?

30. Robin 0

    Given that SS12 comes out in about a year, I had to work out the storyline long ago and have already written several drafts.

31. Oh wow!! I didn’t realize you had to start the books that far in advance!
