Kaison asked Stuart Gibbs:

Was it your idea of kids training to be spies? Because I’m writing a book about kids training to be spies at a boarding school/academy as well. Although it’s not very much like your spy school. So if it’s your idea, am I allowed to use a spy academy in my book? I’ve seen a lot of other books with a spy academy idea but I was wondering if they paid you or something.

Stuart Gibbs The idea of a spy academy for kids was my idea. But you are correct that there are other books with kids training to be spies in them. I can't really own the idea of kid spies. I only can own the idea of the spy school I invented and the characters in it. Other people are welcome to write about different visions of spy schools.
