Stockton published a sequel to The Casting Away of Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine. This book, titled The Dusantes, is about the family who owned the house on the island. The Dusantes are determined to return the money that the castaways left in the ginger jar, and eventually the two groups meet after being stranded by a blizzard in the Rocky Mountains. The sequel is less successful than the original because it repeats many similar incidents, with predictable results.
