'It's time,' I say. 'For ... It. Me. You. Us. The bench. The zoo. The question. Why?'

The only thing that Elvis Crampton Lucas knows about where he's from is that he was found on the bench at a zoo. And that his now father took him home in a Stetson hat, and named him after the first three vinyl he picked off his shelf.

On an epic adventure that takes Elvis to an island off the coast of Norway, he will finally discover the truth about his past...
