Daddy Long Legs sounds like a bottomless reservoir of material. I encourage you to write a sequel with that aspect in mind... Characters running back and forth between sequels, forever, meanwhile touring through Russian literature and Korean geography. I imagine up "North" Un the boy wonder could be big a fan of Daddy Long Legs sequels, and watches them all the time in stadiums full of quiet crowds waiting for him to lead the clapping and the laughing when the good parts flash across the screen.
The Boy Wander, I say . . .
