1. Taking into account my book, Ostrich Boys, I believe that the author has chosen the perfect title for the book. The reason for the title is a huge spoiler for the plot, so I won't reveal it in case any of my readers want to read it, but let's just say it concerns a common habit for ostriches when confronted with something they can't deal with. It's true to say that all the boys were keeping their heads in the sand, but to say how would ruin the book.
2. As for alternative titles for the book, one of the ones I would use would be The Amazing Adventures of Three Boys and A Corpse. The other one I probably would consider would be The Trials of Friendship, for the boys friendship is tested in many ways throughout the book.
3. So, for the sequel for Ostrich Boys, I would call it Getting Along. It would probably show the aftermath of the boys escapade to Scotland. Kenny and Blake must return to Cleethorpes and deal with the trouble from their parents and the law, seeing Sim at school, the people whose houses they graffitied, the media saying they had a suicide pact, and the revelation of (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!) Ross' suicide. For the third book in the series, Coping with Life, I would probably have Kenny, Sim and Blake attending university, how they deal with the still continuing emotional toll of their friends death, and trying to repair their friendship.
