Friendship Changed Me is the sequel to Living the Coconut Life. It chronicles the experiences of many citizens of a beach community called Fruitland. Benny Blueberry's superb singing skills transformed Fruitland in Living the Coconut Life, and the sequel begins with the detailed preparations for his vinyl release party. Throughout the sequel, Hilda Honeydew Melon and other characters' lives are altered but none so dramatically as that of Fifi Fig. Beach residents who take the time to care about Benny, Hilda, Fifi, and others' challenges are the friends who change their lives.
