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 Bruce Coville we love your My Teacher is an Alien series. We have read My Teacher is an Alien, My Teacher Fried my Brains and My Teacher Glows in the Dark. We just started My Teacher Flunked the Planet and we love it so far. After reading My Teacher is an Alien we HAD to read the rest of the books in the series. We are so sad the series is coming to an end, but we are enjoying it as we read. We have a question for you. Are you going to make another My Teacher is an Alien book? And if so what would it be called and what would it be about? One of the students is making a book all about My Teacher is an Alien the book is called Alien Diaries. We love your books and we are excited to read more. Have a good day Bruce Coville! -Abbey

Ahoy Mr. Turonski's Class -
Thanks for the great letter. I'm really glad you're enjoying the MY TEACHER books. I honestly believe the last one in the series is the most important book I ever wrote.
I'm sorry to report that I will not be making another book in the series. I was offered a great deal of money to write a 5th book but I declined because I thought the series had come to the right ending point. I have seen many series that go on to long, and become less and less interesting, and I didn't want that to happen to these characters.
I'll tell you an inside secret: Duncan Dougall is based on a kid I had in my classes when I was an elementary school teacher!
Have a great spring!
