Reif Larsen’s debut tale about the twelve-year-old genius cartographer who must traverse America to accept a prestigious award from the Smithsonian is earning him great praise from critics on both sides of the Atlantic for not only the clever storyline but the book design as well.
The books margins are riddled with the doodles, diagrams, and maps drawn by young Spivet to help discribe his journy to DC.
This looks like a beautifuly put together book, and I think it would be a lot of fun to read, however my major complaint is that, once again, that the British cover looks about a hundred times nicer than its North America counterpart…
… perhaps I will have to order a copy from one of our UK booksellers
