OMG your books are awesome!!! I have read almost all of them. So my friend and I are working on this fan fiction of Harry Potter. Can you give us some advice on describing the surrounding and stuff? Because we both aren't really good at that. And I know a good book needs a lot of details! Thank you for patiently reading this and I hope you will reply soon!
Stuart Gibbs
The best advice I could give is find descriptive passages you like and do your best to emulate them. Don't copy them. Emulate them. (And technically, it's wrong to say that a good book needs lots of details. There are books that are very good with very spare prose.)

So I just finished Spy School Revolution today and may I say wow! I loved it and even though I am kinda mad about what Zoe did I think you played it out just perfectly. But through the books, there has always been one question in my mind. Do we ever find out who the assassin in Ben's room from the first book is?
