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?

More By and About This Author

When a middle school bully suffers amnesia after a bad fall, it gives him the chance to start fresh, but rebuilding his life is an uphill battle when everyone else still remembers the sins of his past. Eighth-grader Chase Ambrose attempts to reconstruct himself based on what his friends and family tell him, but the more he learns about how he mistreated others, the less he likes the old Chase. Unable to play football while he's healing, Chase joins the video club, whose members have good reason to distrust him. And while his former self did community service at a local retirement home, the new Chase comes to enjoy spending time with the residents-especially a grumpy veteran whose stories he values. In this compelling and sometimes humorous tale of nature and identity, Korman ( Slacker) offers an intriguing exploration of the potential for redemption. By telling the story from multiple perspectives (Chase's, as well as those of several classmates), he conveys a complex, thorough picture of Chase's influence and impact on those around him. Ages 8-12. Agent: Elizabeth Harding, Curtis Brown. (May)

"Restart" by Gordon Korman is typical fabulous Korman middle grade fiction wherein a boy - usually in middle school - goes through an experience that changes him. In "Restart" Korman's protagonist, Chase Ambrose, is a fairly dark character.

The reader learns that this middle school sports prodigy, a football player who has won awards, is also a terrible human being. He delights in bullying others. In fact, one fellow student has been so tormented by Chase and his two best friends that he's left school and gone to a private school. Chase and his friends had set firecrackers to go off in the piano he was playing on during a concert.

When the story opens, Chase is in the hospital after falling head first off the roof of his house. He is lucky he didn't die. He's even luckier that he has lost his memory.

It doesn't appear that way in the beginning. But when the amnesiac Chase returns to school, he doesn't understand why kids in the hallway appear to be afraid of him. When he accidentally befriends Brendan Espinoza, a former tormentee, Chase ends up in video club with a bunch of those kids whom he formerly tormented. But while Chase doesn't remember any of it, Shoshanna Weber remembers it all too well. It was her brother, Joel, who left school because of the bullying.

The story is told from different first person points of view, and that's an excellent choice because the reader gets to know what the different characters are thinking and feeling. And because the reader is "hearing" from many of the students, the reader actually knows more about the main character, Chase, than he does himself. And that's an interesting fact to point out to children reading this book.

But even though Chase is a changed kid, he's not perfect. While his former behavior and choices actually disgust him in his changed persona, he does stoop to take the easy way out when it's presented to him.

In this well written and timely story, Korman doesn't just address bullying and its effect on others. He also raises important questions about right and wrong and how schools tend to worship their athletes who can do no wrong. Korman skirts a fine line with his characters. While they occasionally come perilously close to stereotypes of athletes, nerds, and groupies, he manages to imbue each of them with enough individuality and personality that they seem real.

This book would be a great choice for a classroom read from fifth grade through seventh grade - the issues it raises are worthy of discussion. For fans of previous books, this one won't disappoint!
Please note: This review is based on the final, hardcover book provided by Scholastic Press, the publisher, for review purposes.

A fall from the house roof leaves eighth-grader Chase Ambrose with acute retrograde amnesia. He may not remember names and faces from before his accident, but his classmates certainly remember him, and for the majority of Hiawasee Middle School, the memories are none too pleasant.
