But I still missed life at home and the friends that went with it. I had my sister there with me, and did manage to make one or two new friends. Although it was beautiful, it was so different from home-with a very small population and just one tiny general store, it was nothing like the big-city culture I was accustomed to. I had left the familiarity of my Los Angeles home, my first grade class, and all of my friends for this tropical beach reminiscent of an explorer’s desert island. I learned to read while I was living in the Seychelles, a group of islands off the east coast of Africa, when my father was making a movie based on Robinson Crusoe.
