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.

Oh, gosh, no - I was never abducted. The closest I came to that was having a bunch of imaginary alien friends!

Hi, Megan -
Wow! 6'3" is impressive. I always wanted to be 6'2", but my body quite growing long before that. I've always been annoyed by that fact. Glad to know you have protectors!

Hello, I have seen My Teacher is an Alien around the bookshelves and on the internet, have looked it up, and I have a question for you, Mr. Coville. I don't mean to be offensive, but please answer honestely: Do you dislike mankind? Do you think most people are bad/evil?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Dear Valerie -
Do I dislike mankind? Not at all. I sometimes despair at our thoughtless cruelty, but I more often rejoice in our generosity of spirit, and our magnificent creativity.

I'm 27. I've been looking through a lot of the books I read as a kid and realizing that most of my favorites and the ones I remember the best were written by you. You were clearly one of my favorite authors and I didn't even realize it. 🙂 I think your books just had all the most intriguing titles and themes, so I kept picking them up! I just reread "I Left my Sneakers in Dimension X", what a great book! I'll be sure to introduce your stories to the kids in my life. I can't wait to read them, for my own enjoyment as much as the young ears I'll be reading them to.

Hi, Haley -
Many thanks for this message. Lately I've had several messages from adults who read me when they were kids, and they're really filling my heart with joy. To reach young readers, to have them love the books, was my dream. To have the books be remembered this way was almost beyond expectation. Many thanks for letting me know that the stories meant so much to you.
All best,
BC

Glad to know you've got some protectors. That's the way the world should work. Give them a high five from me. Hope next year in high school is a big step forward!

Hi, Zoe -
Glad you like the website. My former assistant did a lot of it, and then my oldest son did a major redesign. It's a lot of work to set up a site like this, so I'm glad you think it works!
