But the caller turns out to be a concerned parent with some shocking news regarding Kat. The news drives Jones into a violent confrontation that will have a profound, long-lasting affect on his life and his personal relationships. Goodwin's moving novel gracefully and carefully explores the complex bond between a father and daughter.

The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet

In this book, which is full of observations and maps, we see the world through the eyes of a Cheerio-obsessed twelve-year-old with the wisdom of an old soul. It is funny, tender, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and full of insight. On every page there was something that I wanted to read aloud to anyone who would listen.--Jake Hallman, A Great Good Place for Books (Oakland, CA)
