(2) YA Humiliated at a party, Brent tries to commit suicide while driving home but instead kills a seventeen-year-old girl. Desperate to atone, Brent agrees to the victim's mother's request that he build four whirligigs and set them up in the four corners of the United States as monuments to her daughter. In this intricately structured novel, Fleischman skillfully connects the stories of several people to the evolution of his main character.
