1. I think Panda-Monium is the funniest.

2. I am so excited the spy school graphic novel came out!

3. Mr. Gibbs have you ever thought about making one of your characters die?

   -Nikhil A from Kansas City

4. Nikhil –

   I don’t really feel that killing off a character in any of my books would be adding anything to the stories.

5. Is there a s movie?

6. Can Ben and Erica get married? Thanks

7. Grant k –
   There is not a movie. There are blog posts explaining why.

8. Grant Kaplan –

   Ben and Erica are in their early teens. They’re not getting married any time soon.

9. Can Ben get a pet and Murray tries to kill it ?

10. That would be wierd

11. How do you make the front cover of your books? Also, how do you print and publish your books?

12. Do you plan your books ahead of time? If so, how do you do it? or else how do you know about when your books are going to be released? (sorry for the overload of questions, just curious)

13. LE McKenney –

    My covers are designed by Lucy Cummins, who works for my publisher. That same publisher handles all the printing, shipping and marketing.

14. Agent 924011

    Yes, I plan my books out well ahead of time. I start brainstorming ideas and outlining uo to a year before i start writing.

    I work with my publisher on a release schedule up to two years ahead of time.

15. Hello Mr. Gibbs!

    Just a quick question, where did you get your inspiration to write a series about spys?

16. Agent 57129

    Please see my FAQ page for the inspiration stories for all of my series.

17. Mr Gibbs,

    Have you ever gotten stuck writing and couldn’t come up with the plot. It’s happened to me before when I wrote my own book inspired by the funjungle series. But anyway how were you able to keep going?

18. Seddy Fitzcracken –

    Everyone gets writer’s block now and then. I generally avoid much of it by spending a lot of time working out my stories and outlining before I ever start the writing process. If I still get stuck, then I go outline again — or take a walk to think about the story that i want to tell.

19. Hi. I really love your books and I’m exited to see what comes next from all of your series. My favorite characters are Erica Hale, Porthos and Summer McCraken (I hope I spelled those all correctly). I’m would love to know any information about a movie you have. But I saw above that you don’t really have anything about that. And that’s okay. I would personally love to see a Spy School/Charlie Thorne or Funjungle movie. But I also think that they could work as a show with like 10 episodes or something like that. What are your thoughts on that? P.S. I hope I Didn’t distract you from writing some EPIC books just right now.

20. Calebwhois13 –

    I am up for any version of my books being turned into a movie or Tv show.

21. I just realized something. Mr.E = Mystery

22. Mr.Gibbs my sister said that you came to my school I while ago. It is called The Pembroke Hill School in KC, Missouri. Have you been there?

    P.S. I know you probably don’t remember every school you visit.

23. Nikhil A –

    I believe I visited that school about five years ago.

24. Hi Stuart. I’ve been reading your FunJungle books and I love them! But after I finished, I got sad because there were no more books to read. Can you please tell me when the next FunJungle book will be published? Thank you.

25. FunJungly –

    If you look in the right hand column of every page of this website, you will find an Upcoming Releases box that has the answer to your question.

26. Where does your newest books first appear for sale?

27. Summer –

    My books are always available ANYWHERE books are sold. (Though I would prefer if you bought them from your local bookstore or bookshop.org.) If you visit my books page, there are always links to purchase them.

28. *SSAS SPOILER ALERT*
    Mr. Gibbs,
    When Ben and Mike meet El Diablo and he gives them clothes as they come out of the showers, he sees a shirt that says Snakes Alive on it. Is that a reference to the Snakes Alive that FunJungle was against in the FunJungle series? Was that an easter egg?

29. KK –

    Yes, that’s an easter egg.

30. Will there ever be a Moon Base Beta book?

31. Book –

    There could be an MBB book. But I am not planning one at this time.

32. Hi Mr. Gibbs,
    I was wondering if there were any updates on the spy school movie. You are an amazing writer.

33. Eden –

    Sadly, there are no updates on the SS movie. If I have anything to share, I will post it.

34. Is Chloe Carter in the first Spy School book a typo or is Chloe Carter and Chloe Appel in the Revolution two different people.

35. Is Joshua Hallal dead or is he still alive accord8ng to British Invasion.

36. Typoist –

    Those are two different people. That’s why they have two different last names.

37. Hi –

    Joshua Hallal’s current status is classified.

38. Have you written any books that were supposed to be the next book in a big series like Spy School or FunJungle but got rejected by your editor or publisher? If so, could you share the titles of them? This may be classified though…

39. KK –

    Once a series is going, what happens in the books is really up to me. If I want to do something, then I get to do it.

40. Blessings Mr. Gibbs!

    Are there any LGBTQ+ charters in the Spy School series?

41. Amanda –

    Since the SS series deals with relatively young kids and focuses on spy missions more than relationships, not everyone’s sexual orientation has been made part of the story. So there could be LGBTQ+ characters, but ehy’re simply not definitely by their sexual orientation.

42. Mr. Gibbs-
    Do you approve the samples of SSPX on Apple Books and Amazon? Did you give them these samples, or where they leaked?

43. Ruben G –

    I do not approve the samples on any sites. I have no idea how they get them.

    PS You do not have to post the same question on multiple pages. Just post it once. I will see it.

44. How many spy school book do you think you will write

45. Cyrushale –

    I do not know how many SS books there will be.

46. Hi!
    I have read and enjoyed your books for a while. One thing that I have noticed is that you have very few LGBTQIA+ characters in your books (by my count, two). I was wondering if maybe it would be possible to add some LGBTQIA+ characters, especially in your “Spy School” series. Personally, Zoe gives me omnisexual vibes, and Erica always strikes me as demiromantic and demisexual, but that’s just me. It would also be great if you could add some non-binary characters as well. These is all my personal thoughts, and you definitely don’t have to follow them if you don’t have to, but I do that adding LGBTQIA+ characters would elevate the series. Nevertheless, you are an amazing author and your books are great!
    Thank you so much!!

47. Sen –

    Actually, I have had four LGBTQA+ characters so far — but one could argue that’s only the number that I have blatantly declared to be LGBTQIA+. There are dozens of characters that haven’t declared any sexuality at all. Why? Because my books are generally not about relationships. I only have relationships come up when I feel that they are important to the plot. I recognize that it is important to have LGBTQIA+ representation in books, but I also think that I shouldn’t be declaring the sexual orientation of preteens just to define them one way or another. To me, the best way to deal with representation is to have it emerge naturally. As the books progress, you might see more of this happening, but I’m only going to do it if and when I feel that it works within the context of the story.

48. Love ur new spy school book
