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.

Reply by Bruce Coville
Hi, Danny -

Glad you liked MY TEACHER IS AN ALIEN. Right now I am working on a sequel to GOBLINS IN THE CASTLE. It's a struggle . . . I hope I don't break my brain trying to make it work! ;>

Hi, Mike - I visit schools all the time . . . in fact I just got back from a month visiting schools in Africa! If you school would like to invite me, I would be delighted to talk to someone about the details.

Does it cost money to have you come visit are school?
Reply by Bruce Coville
Hi, Mikayla -

Yep, I charge for school visits. Pretty much all authors do. Remember, when I am doing a visit, I am not at my computer writing. I love doing them, but all school visits come out of my writing time.

Dear bruce coville,Why did you make the book my teacher is an alien well it's pretty good and amazing it made me wonder what is going to happen to Peter in the end of my teacher is an alien
Reply by Bruce Coville
Hi, Alexandria -

Thanks for dropping by. I made My Teacher is an Alien for the same reason I make all my books: I wanted to tell a story! I'm glad you enjoyed it. You can learn about what happened to Peter in the three books that come next!

Hi, Sierra -

You might as well ask what are my three favorite children out of the 100 I've had. Except I don't have a hundred children. (Thank goodness!)

Some favorites are: Sarah's Unicorn; My Teacher is an Alien; Jeremy Thatcher, DRagon Hatcher; The World's Worst Fairy Godmother; and Amulet of Doom.

how many books have you wrote?
Reply by Bruce Coville
I don't know. (Please note - you asked how many books I have written, not how many I have published. I have written many books that did not get published!)

Do have any books that have been made into a movie?

No movies, but the "I Was a Sixth Grade Alien" books were turned into a TV series that ran for two years on Fox Family.

Is there a movie to the book"My Teacher Is an Alien"?

Nope - and, sadly, there probably never will be. The rights are locked up in a very bad deal. Sigh.

Dear Ms. Fusco -

Many thanks for the kind words. I had a terrific time at your school - great kids, great teachers, great librarian! What more could an author want?
