WHEN 13-YEAR-OLD JOSH finds out he has to stay with his dad in Chicago for a few months, heâs not too thrilled. But when he arrives at the airport, heâs simply devastated. His fatherâwho used to be a scatterbrained, but pretty normal, shoe salesmanâhas become a sideburn-wearing, hip-twisting, utterly embarrassing Elvis impersonator. Josh is determined to keep his dadâs identity a secret, but on his very first day at his new school, a note appears on his locker. Itâs signed Elvisly Yours, and instead of a name, a sneering purple smiley face. The secret is out, and when his dad is invited to perform at a special 50s concert at his school, Josh is forced to take drastic action. From award-winning author Shelley Pearsall comes a hilarious novel about a father and son discovering something about being who you areâand who youâre not.
