A serious book addict, Bruce wanted to be a children's book author since he was in 4th grade (right after he got over wanting to be a pirate, Tarzan, and Daniel Boone). Today he's the author-illustrator of over 70 seriously funny books for kids, so some dreams do come true.
The Malted Falcon, one of his Chet Gecko Mysteries series, was an Edgar Award finalist, and Murder, My Tweet won a Little D Award for Juvenile Humor Writing. Bruce has written everything from picture books and easy readers, to graphic novels and novels.
Bruce's recent Monstertown Mysteries series blends horror and humor, based on his childhood love of monster movies. His other series include Class Pets, about the secret lives of classroom pets, and the forthcoming Outerspace Mystery Pizza Club books, due in 2024.
A Fulbright Scholar (in Storytelling), Bruce is also a popular speaker, both in the U.S. and internationally. He lives in Santa Barbara with his wife and knuckleheaded dog Riley. When he's not writing or reading, you may find him hiking, kickboxing, or singing with a latin-jazz band called Mezcal Martini.
The best thing in the world for Fuzzy is being a class pet. But when he attempts to help a kid and that child gets hurt, a campaign starts to get rid of class pets. Fuzzy must stop it. But how?
I read this with my eight-year-old son. He loves the adventures of Fuzzy and his class pet friends. This is my favorite book in the series so far. Fuzzy is an adorable guinea pig with a lot of heart, and he does make mistakes. He's easy to sympathize with. This is a great tale about not only making up for a mistake, but helping a girl gain strength to stand up for herself and sharing why pets are important for children.
