Synopsis

My best friend, Lucca, and I are going to visit the little Caribbean island where I was born. It has three-foot-long iguanas and barking frogs; guavas, christophines, mangoes, orange pawpaws, and other juicy fruits; calypso and reggae music; and even its own volcano. It's good to be home again!
