The Boy Who Hit Play
Chloe Daykin
’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. But now, on his twelfth ‘discovery day’, it’s time for Elvis to find out who left him at the zoo, and why?
On an epic adventure that takes Elvis to an island off the coast of Norway, he will finally discover the truth about his past…

Twists and surprises and full of laughter, this book is

A fictional adventure story that takes Elvis on a journey many miles away. The plot is surprising and twisted with a turn at every page. Lloyd is a family friend of George (foster father of Elvis) and a really odd but nice kind of character. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I really liked this book even though it was sad at times. The boy found limos family in the end and didn't lose the one he grew up with.

It is okay because the chapters are very short

I liked this book very much, it was very intriguing and interesting. It was also very funny, and I would recommend this book to mainly yr 5 and up since there are a few rude words.

Elvis doesn't know who his birth parents are. He was found on a bench in zoo by George Lucas ( not that George Lucas) on his 12th birthday he sets out on a journey to find out why. This gripping mystery will have you turning pages to find out more.
