The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet

By: Reif Larsen

Narrated by: Christopher Gebauer

A boundary-leaping debut tracing a gifted young map maker’s attempt to understand the ways of the world. When 12-year-old genius cartographer T. S. Spivet receives an unexpected phone call from the Smithsonian announcing he has won the prestigious Baird Award, life as normal - if you consider mapping dinner table conversations normal - is interrupted and a wild cross-country adventure begins, taking T. S. from his family home just north of Divide, Montana, to the museum’s hallowed halls. There are some answers here on the road from Divide and some new questions, too. How does one map the delicate lessons learned about family or communicate the ebbs and flows of heartbreak, loneliness, and love?

INSIDE A CREATIVE MIND

The first person narrative of a young boy exposes the many paths his thoughts and actions can take. The world is still his to discover and he does it with his exceptional mapping talent. The readers voice captures the essence of TS and brings him alive in the listeners mind. Look forward to more.
