The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet
T.S. Spivet, a 10-year-old prodigy, lives on a Montana ranch with an eccentric family: a beetle-loving mother, an old-fashioned cowboy father, and an older sister who wants to be Miss America. When the Smithsonian called to give him credit for inventing the perpetual motion machine, T.S. secretly board a train to Washington D.C., embarking on a wild adventure across America. However, the image of the death of his twin brother, Layton, continues to haunt him.
