Whirligig

When sixteen-year-old Brent Bishop accidentally kills a young woman, her mother requests that he build whirligigs in the four corners of the United States. In this innovative and emotional novel, Newbery winner Paul Fleischman follows Brent's healing pilgrimage and describes the many lives redeemed by the toys Brent leaves behind. Fleischman is a master at employing multiple narrative voices to tell his stories, a technique your classes will greatly appreciate. In Whirligig, he has created a novel about hidden connections and growth that is itself a wonder of spinning hearts and grand surprises.
