There is indeed a sequel, but there were no ARCs of it at BEA this year because it's coming out in March 2010, not this fall. It's called The Celestial Globe. Did you enjoy BEA? I did! I'm going to get a good night's rest, and tomorrow will post about my BEA experience. Hi David,

It’s so nice to hear from you, and I’m glad your children liked my book! There is indeed a sequel, but there were no ARCs of it at BEA this year because it’s coming out in March 2010, not this fall. It’s called The Celestial Globe.

Did you enjoy BEA? I did! I’m going to get a good night’s rest, and tomorrow will post about my BEA experience.

I got the advanced readers copy at the book expo i dont remember how long ago but anyway i have the advanced readers copy and i gave it to my children to read. They absolutley loved it, then one of the caught something you title it the petra kronos chronicles book 1 so does that mean another book is coming out, if so when and will it be present at the next BA or even possibly the one going on in new york right now?

S. Boyle has a stunning voice, so it should be the case that she was applauded, but something about the reaction on Britain's Got Talent unsettled me. Maybe it was because I couldn't bear that middle judge, the blond woman. It was painful to watch her-- at every moment. Check out this NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/21/arts/television/21simon.html?ref=television It suggests that Simon Cowell may have had that beatific look on his face because he knew he had hit some kind of jackpot...maybe that's true as well for the other judges.

WAIT A MINUTE-- you mean to tell me people's voices have nothing to do with how they...look? & WHAT THE HECK a fat person could sing like OPERA or something? Also, news reporters, could you find MORE adjectives to call her "ugly" with? This whole thing is a storm in a teacup-- a teacup of shame! I think the whole thing is insulting.
