I remember wanting to see sequels to many more standalone YA SF novels, as opposed to adult ones. Sometimes one wants a sequel just to "find out what happens next," though a sequel is arguably unnecessary. IE. Lois Lowry's "The Giver," one of my favorite YA novels. I believe they have two "sequels" of sort, but haven't plucked up the courage to read them.
