Summary
Upset by a recent event at school, Brent sets out to kill himself, but when he accidentally kills an innocent bystander with his car, he is forced to make reparations to her parents by taking a cross-country journey setting up whirligigs in her memory. Reprint. AB. SLJ. (view table of contents)
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Brent Bishop longs to have the popular Brianna strolling around school on his arm. But when she rejects him at a classmate's party, Brent's hopes for popularity are instantly shattered. Devastated, he tries to destroy himself in a car crash... but instead kills an innocent girl named Lea.

Instead of sending him to jail, Lea's parents challenge Brent to create four whirligigs modeled on a picture of Lea and position them at the four corners of the United States. Lea's mother hopes that the whirligig that used to delight Lea will be a fitting memorial for her precious daughter. She sends Brent off with an unlimited bus ticket, a few pieces of wood, and the tools to memorialize Lea. On his mission to preserve his victim's memory, Brent ultimately rediscovers his own love of life.
