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,
I am one of your fans. My favorite book you wrote was Always October. I liked how I got scared sometimes and I like how it is also touching at some places in the book. I also like the cover of the book.
One of the reasons Im writing to you is if maybe you can write a sequel. It could be about 12 years later, Jacobs family is almost perfect but one thing, Jacob is about to turn 21 and he has not seen Lily since she moved to go live with her aunt after her grandfather passed away. LD has turned 13 and would like to meet Lily, since he was only a baby when he last saw her. Lily said she would keep in contact but she never did. So the story could be about dad, LD, and Jacob and their journey to find Lily. One thing they end up finding out is that Mazrak, who made a new portal that let him go to Humana any time he wanted, took Lily to Always October. Jacob ends up finding that he loves Lily. But this is all only if you wont to.
Maybe you could make up the rest, if you do write it.
Your biggest p.s. please right back 🙂 fan,
Rory

Dear Mr. Coville,
I just wanted to thank you (and the artists you've worked with) so much for the beautifully written Shakespeare adaptations. I just read The Tempest this evening with my six-year old son, and he loved it, as he did Macbeth, Twelfth Night and A Winter's Tale. We have Hamlet ready to go next. When I told him earlier in the week that we were picking up another book at the library for him, he asked which one and when I told him it was another Shakespeare book, his response was 'Ooh, Shakespeare!' 🙂 I hope more kids and parents discover your books so that when they come upon the plays in later years they won't be put off by the language, having had a taste of it in your books.
However, I do have to tell you that he's rather disappointed you haven't written a version of Julius Caesar (he's a touch obsessed with Caesar ever since we read about him in our history book). So if you'd get on that, we'd appreciate it. 😀 (In all seriousness, I very much hope you write more Shakespearean adaptations - they're absolutely wonderful for both kids and parents.)
Warmest regards,
Shaindy Lander

Dear Mr. Coville,
I have read the Unicorn Chronicles series and I am interested in what the "Song of the Wanderer" sounds like. Is there any way I can listen to it? I have already looked on Google and they show nothing about the song. I congratulate you on another series well done. I wish I could meet you someday!!!
Regards,
Lilietta

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry! I just checked your guestbook and saw my entry from the other day--I accidentally wrote that Almost October won the award, when I meant to say that it got on the list. I am positively burning with embarrassed for such a slip up, and to one of my idols to boot! Please accept my sincere apologies.
I check the guestbook on a regular basis to see if there are any new posts.
Dear Mr. Coville,
Good afternoon! I've met you twice so far at the Boskone literary convention held in Boston in years past, and was sad that I didn't see you or your booth at the one this last February. I love the sense of humor and fun you bring to the panels there, and it's always nice to see my favorite author 'in the flesh.' 🙂
But the purpose of this message was that I wanted to say congratulations! I was walking through my local Barnes & Noble yesterday and stopped to admire a display of books, where Almost October was prominently displayed, and to my surprise the employee for that section approached me and said that these books had won the Maine Student Book Award for 2013! I'm so excited that your most recent book was recognized! I found this link online: msba.umeedu.maine.edu
I told the employee that I had had no idea about the award, and she lamented that they didn't have a sign to put with the display since it was a local award and Corporate didn't provide those, and she then walked off muttering to herself about making one up herself so I do hope it got on the display eventually.
Congratulations from one of your very long time fans! I've been reading your work since 5th Grade and continue to aspire to write and touch as many children as you have.
Sincerely, Shelli

Epic wasn't as good as the similar themed Ferngully...but yes I think you should see it.
In another guestbook entry you said you are going to work on another book...does that mean you are done with the Goblins sequel?
