Restart by Gordon Korman is a funny and thoughtful middle grade novel about Chase Ambrose, a school bully who falls off a roof, gets amnesia, and has to figure out who he really is without remembering who he used to be. As Chase slowly learns about the way he treated people, he gets a rare chance to choose a different kind of life.

The book blends humor, friendship, second chances, bullying, identity, accountability, and personal growth. It has that “what if your worst reputation met your best possible self?” kind of spark. 🧠

Best fit: Readers ages 9–13, especially kids who enjoy realistic fiction, school stories, humor with heart, redemption stories, friendship drama, and books that spark great discussion. 

Content note: Includes bullying, social exclusion, injury, memory loss, and some emotional tension around past mistakes.
