What an incredible book! I absolutely loved this book and all of the characters in it! This story starts out with Chase Ambrous, he wakes up in the hospital with... amnesia (for those of you that don't know, that means he doesn't remember anything) He couldn't even recognize his own mother! As he goes back to school he figures out how awful he was to other people and then almost "restarts" his life! He turns his no-good self into someone everyone can look up too! This book also shows many how a simple change (like being kind) can go a long way! I loved reading this book and watching him transform into a better person. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone! It's an interesting and exciting book to read and you should read it ASAP!
Restart
By Gordon Korman
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.
