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.

Dear Bruce Coville,
We all enjoyed the book Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. Colton liked how you described the magic shop items like the multicolored ball. Arden liked the similes, like when you described Tiamat's wings as red as blood. Avery liked the funny part when Tiamat gave Mr.Kravitz a hot foot. We all liked the friendship in the story. We all hope you keep writing more Jeremy Thatcher books.
Sincerely,
Arden,Avery,and Colton

Hi there, Arden, Avery,and Colton!

Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed JEREMY THATCHER, DRAGON HATCHER. I'm especially glad to know that you liked the description of the Magic Shop. Basically, I was trying to create the Magic Shop that I had in my head when I was a kid, the kind I always hoped that I might find someday!

Writing the hotfoot scene for Mr. Kravitz was fun ... especially since I based the character on an art teacher who had been mean to my little sister when we were kids. It was a way to get a little revenge without actually hurting anyone!

Thanks for your message!
