Reif Larsen - The Selected Works of T. S. SpivetConsumer Rating : 
Price Range : $6.24 - $21.38
A precocious 12-year-old prodigy with a penchant for cartography wins a coveted Smithsonian science award (the Institute is unaware they have awarded the prize to a pre-teen) and promptly abandons his Montana mansion home and hops a freight train bound for Washington D.C. Though young T.S. Spivet travels far and wide, has magical adventures, and encounters outlandish characters, the greatest mystery of all lies in his own suitcase, and has to do with his family, and the true meaning of home. Spivet's whimsical diagrams, illustrations, charts, and maps--brilliantly rendered by debut novelist Reif Larsen--appear in the novel's margins, giving the book a treasure-box quality, and making it as enchanting to look at as it is to read. | Merchant Offers |
