Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi mr. bruce my name is maria and i will be 9 years old tomorrow. I love your alien and unicorn books. Though i am told i am wierd cus i am a girl and alien is for boys. I have a question and i hope you can help. Though mom says you cant but she always told me it never hurts to ask. I was wondering if there is another way to get your voice books on unicorns. I was to have them for my birthday tomorrow but that was before daddy went to heaven Mommy says she cant pay them now since we have to move in with nana and pappi who live in washington and we live in florida mom says we are driving that will take years. I was hoping to supise her if i could get the voice maybe then she will smile like she use to instead of crying all the time since like me she grew up on the unicorns and i want to see her happy again i would gladly trade my cake and books and my few presents i see wrapped for those voice books do you like ice cream cake?
O before i forget why are your voice books so pricy mom says your 4th book costs almost 5 times what your first unicorn voice book costs. While the other 2 our double the price of your first at least thats what the phone store says. Mom didnt even know there was a 4th book
Thank you mr bruce

Hi, Maria -
First off, no one has the right to tell you what is weird for you to read! Heck, MY TEACHER IS AN ALIEN is told first person by a girl named Susan Simmons. I think you should read whatever you want!
I am sorry that I can't get you the voice books (we use the term "audiobooks") - certainly not in time for your birthday. We no longer make the CDs here.
However I can tell you some good news. IF you can play an MP3-CD, even the fourth book (which cost so much as a "voice book" because it is four times as long as the first book - 15 hours!) is not nearly as expensive as your Mom thinks. You can get it on Amazon for only $17! And the first book in the series is only $10.
I hope you had a Very Happy Birthday! Good luck on your trip to Washington. Safe travels!!
Your friend,
Bruce Coville
