Restart by Gordon Korman

Interest Level: 3-6
Reading Level: 5.1
Lexile: 730L
Genre: Realistic Fiction


Chase does not remember falling off the roof, in fact he does not remember anything about himself, and when he gets back to middle school he begins to learn who he was through the reactions of the other kids--trouble is, he really is not sure he likes the Chase that is being revealed, but can he take the opportunity amnesia has provided and restart his life?

I loved the idea of the character Chase making a 180 and turning his life around. I, also, like the fact that Korman included that falling back into Chase's old life would be the easiest thing to do. I found myself routing for the new Chase. I highly recommend this book to 3rd through 10th graders.
