This was the best book I've probably read in my entire lifetime. I loved the characters SO MUCH and I felt that I was apart of the book, becoming the characters in each chapters. Gordon Korman is amazing at bringing books to life. I moved from the only place I had lived last year and found this book in my new teachers library. Even though I hadn't lost my memory, I could relate to Chase and how he felt having to "restart" I loved every second of this amazing wonderful book and cried when it was over. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!! :3
Restart
By Gordon Korman
Chase's memory just went out the window.
Chase doesn't remember falling off the roof. He doesn't remember hitting his head. He doesn't, in fact, remember anything. He wakes up in a hospital room and suddenly has to learn his whole life all over again . . . starting with his own name.
He knows he's Chase. But who is Chase? When he gets back to school, he sees that different kids have very different reactions to his return.
Some kids treat him like a hero. Some kids are clearly afraid of him.
One girl in particular is so angry with him that she pours her frozen yogurt on his head the first chance she gets.
Pretty soon, it's not only a question of who Chase is--it's a question of who he was . . . and who he's going to be.
From the #1 bestselling author of Swindle and Slacker, Restart is the spectacular story of a kid with a messy past who has to figure out what it means to get a clean start.

This was a great and interesting book! I have read it more than once. It was talking about how a boy fell off his roof during the summer and he got amnesia. He had to start his life over again. I loved it!
is your name madlen
This book is a really amazing book! The mixture of a serious topic with comedy mixed in. It is really a unique book! I highly recommend reading it if you have not. I also would say that you should read all the other Gordon Korman books too! He is the best author for my age that is (grade 7)! He was my sibling's favorite author and now mine!
I love restart its amazing

This book is amazing:) Such an interesting story! This bully gets a whole new start. I kinda wish there was a second book.
This is a great book so far and I am pretty sure that it will be a great book the whole time
In the book Restart Chase Ambrose is a kid who fell off his roof and got amnesia, but before he did this he was the school jock and bully. But when he falls off the roof he gets a chance to restart his life and not be such a bully. He has to face many problems such as a girl who dumps froyo on his head, struggling deciding who to be friends with and more. I give this book a five star rating.
Amazing book! Chase Ambrose falls off his roof and gets amnesia. He doesn't remember a thing. When he goes to school, he finds out that apparently his best friends are Aaron and Bear, 2 school jocks. Later on, Chase realizes that he really was a jerk before all of this. He tries to show that he's changed, but has he done enough damage? Great book and I recommend it to anyone who loves Gordan Korman books.
As a football kid, Chase has a reputation that spreads all over- his reputation of being a bully. But after falling from his roof he gets something that changes his life- amnesia. One day he sees his mother, the next day he sees a stranger. But after turning his life upside down, people say that he can change. He wonders what they are saying snd soon enough knows; he was a bully. Desperate to change that, he shows his nicest form in front of everyone, but can he stay there? Video club and an accident with Joel make this book more interesting, and the book really deserves a five.
