Synopsis
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.

Industry Reviews
"Larsen imbues T.S. with his own creditable identity, making him every bit as doubting and overwhelmed as he is precocious and indomitable--he's a little bundle of paradoxes, with the proper literary DNA of any well-formed character."
(04/01/2009)

"[THE SELECTED WORKS OF T.S. SPIVET] is a book that Larsen likens to 'exploded hyper-text' with arrows directing readers to the marginalia that are crucial to his storytelling. It is a novel with graphics, not a graphic novel. Its 255 scattered maps and diagrams and drawings illuminate its main character rather than illustrate its plot."
(05/05/2009)

"I fell in love with THE SELECTED WORKS OF T.S. SPIVET on the first page....With a break-your-heart mixture of deadpan humor, childlike anxiety and cerebral enthusiasm for all things..., T.S. reflects on his brief life as he travels across the country....Beware the bookstore display: If you pick this novel up and page through it, you'll be taking it home."
(05/06/2009)

"[E] ach page seems a vitrine constructed to exhibit the author's discursive, magpie imagination....The reader's attentions are consistently shifted, refocused so that suddenly the experience of reading a novel becomes not a refuge from the distraction of Internet life, but a more insistent facsimile of it."
(06/21/2009)

"We believe in Spivet because Larsen gives us so much that is elegant and even pretty to look at. The book is beautifully produced with drawings and maps, yet the account of the train journey in this attractively naive voice would be admirable even if it were not framed and accompanied by sketches."
(06/26/2009)
