A captivating, loveable novel of stunning originality and
poignancy about a 12-year-old genius mapmaker: set to be
an international bestseller.
Sold at auction in 18 countries and counting, THE SELECTED
WORKS OF T.S. SPIVET is a novel like no other. Harvill Secker
fought off bids from eight other UK publishers to acquire UK &
Commonwealth rights to Reif Larsens hugely original debut.
Stuart Williams, Senior Editor at Harvill Secker said, It is a
perfect gem of a novel, a true one-off that defies comparisons
which will delight a huge range of readers.
T.S. Spivet is a 12-year-old genius mapmaker who lives on a ranch in Montana. His
father is a silent cowboy and his mother is a scientist who for the last twenty years has
been looking for a mythical species of beetle. His brother has gone, his sister seems
normal but might not be, and his dog Verywell is going mad.
Its odd, but then families are. T.S. makes sense of it all by drawing beautiful,
meticulous maps kept in innumerable colour-coded notebooks: maps of the
countryside, maps of his familys behaviour, maps of animal and plant life. He is
brilliant, and the Smithsonian Institution agrees, though when they telephone with
news that he has won a major scientific prize they dont suspect for a minute that he
is twelve years old.
So begins T.S.s life-changing adventure, fleeing in the dead of night, riding freight
trains two thousand miles across America how else do 12-year-olds get to
Washington D.C.? to reach the awards dinner, the fame, the secret-society
membership and the TV appearances that beckon. But is this what he wants? Do
maps and lists explain the world? And why are adults so strange?
The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet is a story like no other: exhilarating, funny, endlessly
charming and unbearably poignant. It is a journey through lifes mysteries great and
small, and about how on earth a boy with a telescope, four compasses and a
th...
