Whirligig | Paul Fleischman
4 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
When sixteen-year-old Brent Bishop inadvertently causes the death of a young woman, he is sent on an unusual journey of repentance, building wind toys across the land. In his most ambitious novel to date, Newbery winner Paul Fleischman traces Brent's healing pilgrimage from Washington State to California, Florida, and Maine, and describes the many lives set into new motion by the ingenious creations Brent leaves behind. Paul Fleischman is the master of multivoiced books for younger readers. In Whirligig he has created a novel about hidden connections that is itself a wonder of spinning hearts and grand surprises.

Beautifully told YA novel about actions and consequences, and restorative justice. Teenaged Brent makes some horrible life-altering choices and tries to atone by traveling the country making whirligigs. All of our choices have an impact on others, whether we know it or not, and it isn‘t just our poor choices. great family read. https://cannonballread.com/2021/01/whirligig-elcicco/
