I’ve always felt that sequels, especially well-done sequels, get a bad rap. They hardly ever win major awards, and are generally seen as a continuance of the original story. Of course there are exceptions, (The High King, The Grey King and Dicey’s Song stand out in my memory) but it seems to be difficult for a sequel to win big.
The next night Big Anthony took Strega Nona s ring, which he wasn t supposed to touch, and sang the magic song and he went to the village to see if anybody would dance with him. Of course there are exceptions, The High King, The Grey King and Dicey s Song stand out in my memory but it seems to be difficult for a sequel to win big.
On the pirate ship, Jack and Annie encounter Captain Bones and his crew. They are forced to help the pirates in order to survive. As they navigate through the dangerous world of pirates, they learn about the pirate's way of life, including their codes of conduct and the treasure they seek.
