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.
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 an amasing book. I recommend it to everyone.
Imagine forgetting everything you've ever known. Used-to-be bully Chase Ambrose is looking to change his ways. But people don't forget. Especially a girl named Shoshanna Weber, who's brother was embarrassed out of Hiawassee by his bullying. The situation gets worse when Chase joins the school video club! Most of the "geeks" are in it, and they are the one's Chase used to target! His friends Aaron and Bear think amnesia turned him into a geek, so they plan a prank that will look like HE has done it! I would say 9+, and an absolute must read. It is suspenseful, sad, and inspiring. Even a bad person has a good heart. 💖
Insightful. This book showed that everyone deserves a second chance. Even the school terrorist.
AWSOME book! You must read it!!
