Opis

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 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. It's odd, but then families are.

Recenzje

Here is a book that does the impossible: it combines Mark Twain, Thomas Pynchon, and Little Miss Sunshine. Good novels entertain; great ones come as a gift to the readers who are lucky enough to find them. This book is a treasure Stephen King
