Description: We see the world through the eyes of twelve-year-old genius cartographer T.S. Spivet as he leaves his family ranch just north of Divide, Montana, to travel to the Smithsonian to claim the prestigious Baird Award. Along his journey he learns lessons about family and self, and ways to communicate the ebbs and tides of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, and love.
