His alien books, both the My Teacher and Rod Albright series, have concepts and touch on ideas far beyond what other sci-fi for young people, or even a fair amount for adults, covers; such as concepts of gender beyond male and female. Bruce writes books that are somehow simultaneously funny, touching, and disturbing. I recommend them to adults and kids alike. Bruce is also just a really nice and cool guy. His audiobook company is wonderful, and produces some great stuff. He is friendly to fans and librarians, and contributes a lot to the YALSA listserv. Coville’s books are great.

I'm a Jess-come-lately where he's concerned, but he's been one of Rebecca's favorites (if not her favorite, period) since she was just a wee sprocket. Oh, we’re big fans of Bruce here at AV.

Period. He's not just the reason I decided to try writing and not just the reason why I love fantasy and scifi, he's the reason I love reading, period. Hence my shock and horror when Jess hand never read anything by him. ;) Favorite. Period.
