Whirligig is a 1998 novel by Paul Fleischman. This is about teenagers building Whirligig in every corner of the US to pay compensation (and ask for redemption for themselves) after killing other people by suicide in a car accident . [1]]

17 - year - old bishop Brent moved to Chicago, Illinois, with his parents. He attended the party and tried to integrate and get popular. He decided to talk to popular girl Brianna at the party. She told him not to mind and not to let himself be alone. The whole group heard this. Party organizer Chaz laughed about his behavior at the party. Angry, Brent tried suicide by retaliation and driving, and by crashing his car. He came across a car driven by a girl named Lea Zamora. Lee died in a car accident, but Brent survived in the accident. Brent opposed the traditional imprisonment, but agreed to the reinstatement chosen by Lee's mother. Lea's mother tells Brent to build and deploy four spins in every corner of the United States to commemorate and inherit the ideal of Lea's charity. Brent agrees with this. He received the bus pass and goods to help him build his spin

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.

After a long time since Brent left the United States, the stranded rotor influenced the lives of others. They wanted a man named Steph girl in Weeksboro, she is a street sweeper in Puerto Rico nicknamed Miami's Flaco for a quiet time, Anthony Bellevue wishing to baseball, and Jenny. Girls worried about her grandmother in San Diego

Each chapter of the novel is replaced with a story's point of view. Among them is Brent, and its viewpoint occupies each chapter from the beginning. In other chapters, Anthony, Jenny, Flaco, Stephen are introduced. They are all strongly influenced by the whirlwind left by Brent.

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
