T.S. Spivet is a 12 year old genius mapmaker who lives on a ranch in Montana.

His brother has gone, his sister seems normal but might not be, and his dog - Verywell - is going mad. t's 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 family's behaviour, maps of animal and plant life.

But is this what he wants? Do maps and lists explain the world? And why are adults so strange? THE SELCTED WORDS OF T.S. SPIVET is a story like no other- exhilarating, funny, e
