Whirligig / Fleischman, Paul

Sixteen-year-old Brent Bishop's attempt to commit suicide by driving drunk results in the death of a lovely, talented high school student, but he finds forgiveness and gains an understanding of the interconnectedness of life when he honors a request by the victim's parents to build four whiligigs in her memory and place them in Washington, California, Florida, and Maine.

While traveling to each corner of the country to build a whirligig in memory of the girl whose death he caused, sixteen-year-old Brian finds forgiveness and atonement.
