Rendition Conducive To Books Whirligig

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.

Weigh Up Based On Books Whirligig

This is the framework of a great little story with a lot of potential, but it's too bad the author didn't flesh it out more. I read it in two sittings, and I'm a slow reader, so there just isn't enough detail or development to bring the book to life in the way it deserves.Nonetheless, it is a fine story: high schooler Brent Bishop seems like a bit of a tool; drunk and full of self-pity one night after a party, he tries to kill himself in his car on the highway but ends up killing a young woman

This book was much better than I was expecting. Maybe because I have to teach it to my 9th graders, so I was required to read it, and I hate all required reading. It starts out a little slow, but the real emotions Brent and the other characters experience drew me in and got me hooked on the story. I think this book is important for high schoolers to read, especially in the wake of 13 Reasons Why and other stories which romanticize suicide. The message actions have consequences is something I try

Wow, I find all the mixed and/or negative reviews of this book shocking. I LOVED it. I thought it was beautifully written, poignant, and nearly impossible to put down.Seventeen (or maybe 16) year old Brent has moved around a lot. He never feels comfortable anywhere. He's constantly trying to figure out the lay of the land -- what clothes are cool, who the cool kids are, how to create the perfect image. Brent is just starting to figure it all out at his new school when he goes to a party he's not

I really, really disliked this book. Whirligig is about a teenager named Brent who decides to kill himself after a popular girl rejects him at a party. He drives drunk and ends up killing an young girl instead. The girl's mother asks Brent to go build memorial whirligigs for her daughter at the four corners of the United States. In the process, Brent rediscovers meaning and purpose in his own life. I hated the book mostly because I have zero empathy for the plight of a sad white boy who feels

This book is a great example of how our actions effect other people, especially those we never meet.It starts with Brent killing Lea, the first in a series of actions that effect others. As Brent travels and builds the whirligigs in Lea's memory he grows and changes. Part of the reason the book is such a great read is that every other chapter is not about Brent but about the effect his work has on others when they see his whirligigs. These people range in ages and locations, but are tied

Fleischman limits his characters to stereotypical roles and trajectories... also just a lot of bad writing. Really a crime that its being taught in American schools

ESTEFANIA'S REVIEW; ESTEFANIA'S REVIEW! Whirligig, by Paul Feishamn, wasn't your normal, everyday novel. With a confusing plot and characters that move from place to place- literally- I never really got a chance to enjoy the book. This book was quite unique. The author incorporated geography with what the characters went through within every chapter. Throughout the entire stroy, you're able to connect whirligigs to each character and see first-hand what affect they had upon each person.
