A review by jrosenstein
The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet by Reif Larsen

4.0

Overall I really liked this book, especially the little maps, drawings, and notes in the margins. It's a moving reflection on family and the ways we try to make sense of the world. The titular character, a 12-year-old cartographer and illustrator in no way resembles any real 12-year-old but those of us who were, like me, both a little too precocious and a little too dreamy as children to fit in well will see part of themselves in him.
