How do you think estrela got involved with the lost Boys?

i think this is a really good question. In the book, information about star's past is limited however there is a short conversation between her micheal " 'you and david...you seem very intune with each other. That is, you seem very close-' estrela squeezed his hand 'I was just sleeping on the de praia, praia when david found me and brought me here' " also when asked about her family estrela replys "i miss them sometimes, really bad". So maybe she ran away from início and got caught up with the lost boys. may not be true its just a theory :)

Low self-esteem HAHA
