    I do not have a favorite series or book of my own. I work too hard on all of them to say that I like one more than any of the others.

    But there are many, many books and authors that I like. I have a few links on a post about book recommendations on my blog.

  2. Hi, Mr.Gibbs! I’m curious when the next Charlie Thorne book will be released. I really enjoy reading the series!

    Thank you!

  6. Hi,
    You are my favorite author of all time! So far I have read all of the FunJungle series, and I’m half way through the Spy School series. You books have inspired me to be so many things. I love you righting so, so, so much.
    Btw your birthday is the day after mine.

  8. Hi Mr. Gibbs,

    I was just reading the ‘Answers to all your questions about the spy school movie’, and I came across someone’s comment and so your reply was to someone ‘I am not the only person who has written a kid spy book, so I do not own that idea. The trick is to come up with a different version than what I have done.’ So I was just wondering if I wrote a book about teen spies, and say they also solve mysteries with different people and places would it be considered plagiarizing?

  9. Also, forgot to mention I’m not going to publish the book. I’m writing just for fun to see if maybe it can give me ideas for future books.

  10. Ok u got an idea: Erica gets Amnesia and changes personality. Now it’s not permanent, it could last a day or few. You could brainstorm different personalities for her too. Hope this gives you an idea for your book!

  11. Jay –

    Writing a book about teen spies who solve mysteries would not be plagiarism. But writing a book about teen spies who go to a top secret spy school in Washington DC and who seems very similar to my spies might be a problem.

  12. Jawa –

    While I appreciate your enthusiasm, it is extremely difficult to accept ideas from readers.

  13. Dear Mr.Gibbs,

    I really love your books, and I have read every book in the Spy School series and FunJungle series that you have written so far, and I have reread some of them many times. I am sorry if you are busy, but please answer: why did you decide to pair Zoe with Svetlana? Please answer…
    I look forward to reading your new books!

  14. Hello Mr. Gibbs, me and my friends were wondering if you could tell us some of the SS characters prounuciation.
    Like is it:
    Mur-ay or Mur-y
    Ben Rip-ly or Ben Ripe-ly
    Zo-y or Zo
    Thank you for possibly answering this

    BTW sorry for the misspells

  16. Do you ever think there will be a chance where the characters from all of your books(excluding Moon Base Alpha)all meet together in one book? Like perhaps Ben could visit FunJungle for a spy mission, and Theodore meets him with Summer and Xavier. Charlie could fit in because of the whole spy thing. Greg could be visiting with his family. It could be a story switching from perspective to perspective. Maybe it’s a bunch of bad guys smuggling illegal animals, and Greg could call upon his friends. It could turn out to be something even bigger that makes Charlie tied into it.

    I paired Zoe with Svetlana because LGBTQA+ people exist in the world and it seemed wrong that I hadn’t included anyone like that but had included plenty of heterosexual people.

  19. Tina –

    First time commenters need to be approved by me to prevent trolls from posting. I need time to get around to this every day.

  20. Brice –

    There is very little chance that there will be a massive crossover book featuring characters from all my series. Constructing a story that will appeal to people who have read just one series (or one book) yet utilize al those other characters is a massive undertaking — and might require so much explanation that it makes the story slow and boring.

  21. To Stuart Gibbs, I have noticed that recently Teddy Frizroy has slowly been leaving funjungle to have adventures in different places in recent additions to the series. Will this continue to be true or will teddy have another adventure primarily focussing on funjungle?
    Also random question. Does Teddy have a favorite primate seeing as his mother is a Primatologist?

  22. Jax –

    I can’t reveal where Teddy will go next.

    Since Teddy grew up with gorillas, I would presume those are his favorite primates.

  23. Hello Mr. Gibbs,

    You are my favorite author!!

    I just love the spy school series and the graphic novels are aMaZInG!!!!

    This is a follow-up and I’d really love if you would answer some question!

    Do you know what will happen to the other students at the academy that blew up? (Also the principal)
    Also, have you considered when Ben is going to meet his parents again?
    Thanks you, look forward to hearing back!!

  24. Your books Are really good and funny. thank you for being such a great author

    One question: how do you pronounce theodore’s name thanks

  26. Hi Stuart Gibbs I love your books you inspire me to make my own books my favorite book that you made was space case I read it and I loved it I would love if you can make more books like space case how are you able to publish books and what inspired you to make great books?

  27. Anna –

    I’m afraid there will not be more books like Space Case (although the graphic novels of that series are coming out). You can learn all about the inspiration for each of my series on my FAQ page.

  29. Hi Stuart Gibbs! I love your books, and I read the whole Spy School series, the whole Funjungle series, and most of the Charlie Thorne Series. You are my favorite author ever, and I cannot wait till the next Spy School book will come out.

  30. Mr. Gibbs on one of the “Upcoming Events” it says Once Upon A Time, Montrose CA.
    Is that supposed to say Once Upon A Tim?

    Hope this helps!

  33. Advaith –

    You can learn the name of the new SS book when everyone else does. I will be announcing it in a blog post in the next few weeks.

  34. Hi Stuart Gibbs,

    I am your biggest fan, and I have an idea for Spy School #14, what if you named it Going East because Cyrus, Mary, and Alexander go to Shanghai and that is on the eastern side of the world on a map. Also can you have a new villan that is a mystery until Spy School 15 and in that book, you could bring back an old villan like Mr. E

  35. Vihaan –

    Since SS14 comes out in October, I have been working on it for several years already and it is really just about finished, so I can;t really take suggestions for it. I will be revealing what it is about very soon and I think you will enjoy it.

  40. Ben is the goat –

    The way people don’t find out about certain things is to read the books in order and not read spoilers on line.

  43. Hey Mr. Gibbs! I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your books! They are so engaging and entertaining!!! My favorite is definitely Spy School. One thing I noticed though is that some characters *cough cough Chip* are incredibly sexist towards girls. I don’t mean any offense, I’m just genuinely curious, was that your intention? Anyway, thanks for reading this, and PLEASE keep writing!

    -Hannah

  44. Hannah –

    Yes, I do have characters express opinions that are not very open-minded at times. If all of my characters were as upstanding as Ben, there wouldn’t be much variation in them. Chip’s sexist views are supposed to make him look foolish.

  45. Stuart Gibbs-

    I bet you have already thought of this, but what if instead of doing a Spy School movie, you did a multiple season television show. It would allow for you to stay more true to the book, give more character development, make all the book adaptations quicker, all with being able to make it on a lower budget. I would also LOVE to play Ben Ripley if you were to do a casting call. Thanks for reading.

  46. Aaron –

    I have definitely thought of having the book be a TV series. Although that’s not necessarily a lower budget.

    If there is a show — and a casting call — I will post about it.

  47. Hello Mr Gibbs,
    I’ve been reading the new “Spy School” book and noticed that a Batmobile crashes into both a Ferrari and Lamborghini. Is this a reference to the line “[t]hen they both got flattened by the Batmobile” Lemon Demon’s The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny?

  49. **To:** Mr. Gibbs

    **Subject:** Test 344.5 — Passkey Validation Inquiry

    Sir,

    In accordance with your directive, I have completed the assessment designated as the entrance examination, recorded in my log as Test 344.5.

    During submission, I entered the assigned passkey; however, the system returned a rejection notice. I subsequently reviewed the procedural documentation governing passkey construction and verified that my entry conformed exactly to the specified parameters.

    I respectfully request clarification regarding the discrepancy, or confirmation of any additional criteria that may apply.

    Respectfully,
    Agent Fire

  50. Agent Fire –

    I have just checked the entrance exam website and confirmed that, if the proper code is entered, you will receive a congratulatory message. If you are not getting that message then you are entering the wrong code.
