Stuart Gibbs began writing stories in kindergarten. He spent his childhood in Philadelphia, Washington DC and San Antonio. He went to college at the University of Pennsylvania. Before writing novels he wrote movies. His films include: See Spot Run,Repli-Kate and Showdown, and  has also worked on many animated projects, such as Anastasia, Open Season 3, and Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers.

Stuart now lives in Los Angeles. When he’s not writing he loves to do things with his kids, such as going to the zoo, museums, or the beach. He also likes to hike, ski, bike, play tennis and go canyoneering (which is like hiking, only you do it in a canyon, and occasionally you end up rappelling down a waterfall). He also loves to travel.


Author's Comment: Where do you get the ideas for your books?

Ideas can come from all sorts of places: visits to museums and zoos, books or magazine articles I have read, travel to amazing places, conversations I have had with interesting people — and even the occasional spy movie. Basically, I try to learn as much as I can about everything that interests me and the ideas follow.
