[REBROADCAST FROM May 2, 2022] For our second installment of Get Little, we speak with author Stuart Gibbs, who you may know from his best-selling books, FunJungle, Spy School, Moon Base Alpha, Charlie Thorne and more. We tackle how he got his start writing for kids, his upcoming projects (hint, he's got a lot), and why he knows so much about capybaras.

Spy School - Can a normal kid become a secret agent? Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. So he's thrilled when he's recruited to the C.I.A.'s top secret Academy of Espionage. Only, it turns out, Ben hasn't been brought in because the C.I.A. expects him to succeed. Instead, he's been brought in as bait to catch a dangerous enemy agent. Now, Ben needs to step up his game before he ends up dead. Can he solve the crime, get the girl and save the day? Maybe not, but it'll be fun to watch him try! Stuart Gibbs is an American author who has written mostly mystery and humor books that are aimed for tweens and teens. Gibbs' books have been described as "fun, fast-paced" and "entertaining

Stuart Gibbs odkrywa przed nami nową serię. Pierwszy tom to „Śledztwo w kosmosie” i trzeba przyznać, że fantastycznie puścił wodze wyobraźnię (rok 2042), łącząc akcję z naukowymi ciekawostkami. Być może kojarzycie tego autora z rewelacyjnej serii „Szkoła szpiegów”, której Aktywne Czytanie patronuje. Nie może być inaczej, „Śledztwo w kosmosie” też jest pod moimi patronackimi skrzydłami.

Zibby interviews New York Times bestselling children's author Stuart Gibbs about Whale Done, the eighth book in the iconic FunJungle series. Stuart describes his love of animals, his job at a zoo studying capybaras, and his decision to write about an exploding whale in Malibu. He also talks about his popular Spy School series and (accidentally) reveals where the next book will take place! Finally, he talks about writing as an escape, which helped after his wife's passing, and reveals he spends a lot of time in the worlds he has imagined and put on paper.

Stuart Gibbs is a man who loves his audience and his audience loves him. He has written six series of books for kids and all them offer a glimpse into the glee that Stuart Gibbs takes in the stories he tells. Whether it's blowing up whales, going to a secretly run CIA training school for kids or a knight who never meant to become one, Stuart Gibbs takes real pleasure in entertaining his readers. One of his newest passions is turning his best selling work into graphic novels. His first series being turned into a paneled masterpiece is the Spy School series. His collaboration with illustrating Anjan Sarkar took a surprising turn. Our bookstore this week is Read Herring (soon to be New South Books) in Montgomery Alabama.

[REBROADCAST FROM May 2, 2022] For our second installment of Get Little, we speak with author Stuart Gibbs, who you may know from his best-selling books, FunJungle, Spy School, Moon Base Alpha, Charlie Thorne and more. We tackle how he got his start writing for kids, his upcoming projects (hint, he's got a lot), and why he knows so much about capybaras.

Writer Stuart Gibbs didn't start out as a writer of middle grade novels. He also didn't expect to be interrupted in his interview by a member of the wildlife community in the middle of Washington, DC. He talks to host Kitty Felde.

Is there really a secret school in Washington, DC to train kids to become spies? We ask the experts in this episode: kids from Key Elementary in our nation's capital, writer Stuart Gibbs, and the man whose job description includes overseeing the activities and budget of the CIA, Congressman Eric Swalwell. Our celebrity reader is jounalist Claudia Peschuitta. Kitty Felde is host.

Stuart Gibbs is this week's guest and begins what we intend to be a periodic look at children's' literature, or in the parlance of the day, “kids' books”. Stuart has five different series of kids's books in print - all successful, each aimed at the middle grades. His latest Spy School book is just out. Kate and I (grown-up who like to believe) loved it, as did our 12-year-old grandson and nephew, Lang (but then Stuart is his favorite author). To be a successful author of kids' books we believe you have to be a good writer as well as a bit of a kid yourself. Stuart checks both boxes.

F.A.R.T.: Top Secret! No Kids Allowed! (1) (The F.A.R.T. Diaries) by Peter Bakalian When a young teen discovers a top-secret parenting manual, it's kids versus grown-ups in this kooky, illustrated middle grade thriller with nonstop, seat-of-your-pants action that will delight fans of Jarrett Lerner and Stuart Gibbs. When a tween boy [Codename: Furious Popcorn] picks up what he thinks is a cookbook and finds a diabolical parenting manual, his world turns upside down. The Ultimate Guide to Hacking Your Kids was written by an organization called F.A.R.T. (Families Against Rotten Teens), a secret society of grizzled parents whose origins date back to antiquity. FP is determined to get to the bottom of this, but when he begins investigating F.A.R.T., the manual goes missing, his parents deny knowing anything about any kind of book, and—maybe strangest of all—kids at school start listening to their parents and teachers. What kid would ever do that? F.A.R.T. proves to be more than just some gassy acronym and parental rules and regulations when FP and the Only Onlys, his best friends since preschool, discover F.A.R.T.'s grand plan: a brain modem that can turn kids into well-behaved zombies! This wacky crew has no choice but to find out who's behind the nefarious organization and save young people the world over from total F.A.R.T. domination!

This is a podcast about the plot and theme of  the book Evil Spy Scool, written by Stuart Gibbs

First Draft Episode #217: Stuart Gibbs Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series, the FunJungle series, the Moon Base Alpha series, and The Last Musketeer series. His newest series kicked off in 2019 with Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation. The newest FunJungle book, Tyrannosaurus Wrecks, is out March 24, and Spy School Revolution will come out in fall 2020. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode The life path of MIchael Crichton, who studied to become a doctor, was an influence on Stuart in college. After two days into pre-med, though, he decided to focus on biology. The capybara is the world’s largest rodent Jennifer Joel is now Co-Head of the Publishing Department at ICM Jean Claude Van Damme is a Belgian artist and martial artist who made many action films, like Bloodsport (definitely listen to the How Did This Get Made episode - one of the best HDTGM ever), Street Fighter (omg this How Did This Get Made episode - What is a Street Figher?! iconic), Timecop (listen to the How Did This Get Made episode), and The Quest (listen to that How Did This Get Made episode) Stuart co-wrote the movie See Spot Run with Craig Titley (who wrote the film adaptation of Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the film adaptation of The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan) Lucy Ruth Cummins, writer and illustrator, and executive art director of picture books, middle grade books, and young adult novels for Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, and Paula Wiseman books, is responsible for many of Stuart’s incredible covers, including the FunJungle covers Stuart explains that Quentin Tarantino, writer and director of films like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, is given the freedom to wander and explore in his movies, but most screenwriters aren’t. Daniel Ehrenhaft, author of The Last Dog on Earth, 10 Things to Do Before I Die, and more, Vice President and Editorial Director at Soho Teen, and guitarist in Tiger Beat, recruited Stuart to write The Last Musketeer series. Moonraker was the first James Bond movie that Stuart ever saw. It changed his world! The story Stuart wrote as a kid about Jimmy Bond, James Bond’s son, was called The Kid with the Golden Water Pistol, a riff on The Man With the Golden Gun The Mission Impossible films have taken over for James Bond, in a way Stuart wrote Space Case and the Moon Base Alpha series with the help of his good friend, astronaut Garrett Reisman Stuart had the instinct that he couldn’t write a book set on Mars, because it would need to have such a scientific basis. His instinct was right because shortly after, Andy Weir published The Martian (listen to Andy Weir’s episode of First Draft here)   I want to hear from you!

Mr. Waffles and his guest, Mr. Pancakes, discuss "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs.

Stuart Gibbs has always wanted to be a writer, even writing stories in kindergarten. He also wanted to go to space, work at the zoo, and be a spy. Those career choices are reflected in his many books — from Belly Up to Spaced Out. Gibbs is known for his humorous and suspenseful series of books including FunJungle, The Last Musketeer, and the New York Times bestselling Spy School and Moon Base Alpha series. He has written several screenplays and developed television shows for Disney, Nickelodeon, ABC, and Fox. In this edition of Meet the Author, Stuart shares his writing process insights on research and character development. Coates Elementary School students create book hooks and cover art for Stuart’s books. The author also answers students’ e-mail questions and phone calls. Originally recorded on 1/11/18
