The Selected Works Of T. S. Spivet by Reif Larsen
A brilliant, obsessive twelve-year-old cartographer from a rural Montana ranch secretly travels to the Smithsonian after receiving a prestigious award, mapping each step of his cross-country journey while grappling with grief and family secrets; the narrative blends scientific diagrams, marginalia and illustrations into a quirky, melancholic coming-of-age story that explores the tension between rational observation and messy human emotion.
