Restart by Gordon Korman is an engaging middle-grade novel about identity, second chances, and discovering who you want to become. The story follows Chase, a boy who wakes up in a hospital after falling from a roof with no memory of his past.
Chase knows his name, but almost everything else about his life has disappeared. When he returns to school, he quickly realizes that his classmates remember a version of him that he cannot. Some students treat him like a hero, while others are clearly afraid or angry around him.
As Chase tries to understand his past, he begins to question the person he used to be and the choices that shaped his reputation. His interactions with classmates give him clues about his former personality while also forcing him to consider whether he has to remain the person he once was.
With humor, heart, and plenty of surprises, Restart explores friendship, responsibility, bullying, forgiveness, and the possibility of starting over. It is a thoughtful and entertaining story for young readers about how our choices can shape us and how a second chance can offer an opportunity to become someone better.
