The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

Desperate to avoid his 100th birthday party, Allan Karlsson climbs out the window of his room at the nursing home and heads to the nearest bus station, intending to travel as far as his pocket money will take him. But a spur-of-the-moment decision to steal a suitcase from a fellow passenger sends Allan on a strange and unforeseen journey involving, among other things, some nasty criminals, a very large pile of cash, and an elephant named Sonya 

Quirky, entertaining and delightful. I loved Sonya the elephant.  Not too sure about being killed by being sat on by an elephant.
