Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A densely illustrated, footnoted and doodled-upon debut novel about a 12-year-old genius who wins a major scientific award and runs away across America to receive it. Huge marketing campaign planned with this major new American author to be in UK on publication. For fans of "McSweeneys" and "Huckleberry Finn".

Publisher's description:

T S Spivet is a 12-year-old genius mapmaker who lives on a ranch in Montana. His father is a tight-lipped cowboy and his mother is a scientist who for the last twenty years has been looking for a mythical species of beetle. His brother has gone, his sister seems normal but might not be, and his dog is going mad. It's odd, but then families are.
