Bookroo's summary

Zack's quiet night takes a bizarre turn when he hears 'Heartbreak Hotel' echoing from his fridge. Could Elvis Presley have reincarnated as a turnip? As Zack delves into this odd mystery, he must confront the surreal possibility of musical legends living on in unexpected forms. Will he uncover the truth behind the singing vegetable, or is he simply losing his mind? Dive into a quirky adventure where the past meets the produce aisle, and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

Late one night when Zack hears strains of “Heartbreak Hotel” coming from the fridge, he discovers the possibility that Elvis lives on…as a turnip! Talk about getting back to musical roots!
