Whirligig › Customer reviews

Ashamed by a high school classmate, the new child, Brent tried to commit suicide but killed a young woman named Lee.

As a resurrection, Lea's mother asked Brent to create four carousels in the four corners of the United States. A mother who lost a loved one wishes that this position will spread happiness like a daughter. She gave Brent a gray dog ​​path for the journey.

This discovery journey helped Brent find his best buddies. As his journey prospered, the stories of people touched by his work adorned the story. In everything we do, we all meet someone - who knows how much?

I like the way Paul Fleischman's novel Seedfolks performs, I hope that I can interpret this novelly. But I am very disappointed. My students (I also agree) think that the voice of Brent of the hero is too old, but they are not as imagined. In addition, they think that he read too slowly in many ways. I know this is dramatic, but it is a little more. Since this is the only option of this novel on CD, if you really need it, then the overall reading is not bad. Several other actors in the non-Brent division are doing very well. However, I think that the voice of the hero is better.

In Paul Fleischman's Whirligig, Brent went to the four corners of the United States and made a whirlwind based on his confession mission. Each Whirligig has a unique appearance that meets its needs (observers?) In various ways. The first change was placed in a state park near the Puget Sound. As Brent's first spin, he made it a bit laborious. Originally it was supposed to be an angel playing a full-size orchestra harp, but he accidentally broke its wings when he lifted it. After that it became an ordinary person and seemed to play the harp when the wind was blowing. An important observer of this change is fifth grade Tony who wants to play baseball but is obliged to play the violin. In the summer, when he camped with his family, his mother found it and used it as a supplement to exercise equipment. "Remember the harpist Anthony you practiced," she says

When Brent arrived in Bellevue, Washington, he began his first spin, a harp player. So he met a cyclist playing a go. In San Diego, California, Brent wished to stay in the dorm, but he said that only foreign tourists could stay there. Brent says he is lying and he is from Canada. He met an international student named Emile in the dorm. Before leaving San Diego, he made his second spin, a mermaid. In Miami, Florida, he is thinking about the concept of religion. With the help of several children at the beach, Brent became his second rotating band, the marching band from the end. His last revolving building was built with the model of Lea Zamora rotating in the wind, Maine State Weeksboro. Later he met a female painter who noticed Brent's problem and finally made him realize he was free. He decided to spin in each state and eventually turned his parents and Lee's mother again and decided to start a new school.
