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 Mr. Coville,
Our class loved J.T.D.H.! It was a great adventure filled with amazing details that put pictures in our heads! We felt the book was realistic and fun to read. Jeremy and Tiamat made a great team. All of us love the way they communicate. We are excited that you have other books with Mr. Elives' Magic Shop, it would be a fun place to explore! Our class has 32 stuffed dragons, and one is red, named Tiamat. You signed the copy of our teacher's book years ago because she loved the story so much. You are a wonderful author. Thank you for writing this book!

To My Pals in Ms. Holland's 4th Grade -

Thanks for your message! I'm delighted that you enjoyed J.T.D.H. so much. Of all my books, I think this is the one most likely to outlast me.

Glad that you like the Magic Shop . . . basically it's the shop I always hoped I could find when I was a kid myself.

It's very cool that you have 32 stuffed dragons in your class, and it makes me feel good to know that one of them is named Tiamat!

It sounds as if you guys have a lot of fun in Ms. Holland's 4th grade. I used to teach 4th grade myself - it's my favorite year!
