(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brandon Dorman. Oyster R. Motel, left on a nunnery doorstep as a baby, longs for excitement--and to find his real parents. A silver bucket that travels between imaginary worlds, guided by the titular map, becomes Oyster's transport to adventure. Random oddities of character and plot abound. There's a lot that's nonsensical; readers willing to go with it will enjoy the ride.
