Restart Hardcover – May 30, 2017

This book is a great read for young and old alike. The lessons Chase learns from restarting his life are wonderful examples about change and doing what is right even when it isn’t easy.

This book held my child's attention from the first moment. She read it in one day and was thoroughly fascinated.

Restart, Gordon Korman Book Review by Taylor B.Can you tell me why this book is so entertaining in so many different ways? Gordon Korman did such a great job on this book and I can barely explain how much I am in love with it. The name Restart fits so well with the book's theme and main idea that it’s just music to my ears. After I finished the book, the theme of this book that I really thought fit was that people can change. Some people think that others will always be the same, and will always be a bully forever. But after reading Restart anyone could prove it isn’t true. The story takes place on a very special day where Chase Ambrose has no idea that he is going to be visiting the hospital later that day. As Chase and his brother are on their roof, Chase takes a big fall right onto his head. While his brother is in shock runs to get his mom and runs to the hospital. A few days pass and Chase has to revisit his school and relearn his last 13 years of his life. At this point everyone knows about Chase's fall and everyone is still scared of him. People start to give in and think that he actually lost his memory. Chase then begins to make real friends and have people trust him. In the next couple days Chase starts to find out more and more about what he did in his previous life. Fast forward to the middle of the year where a huge incident happens in the band room with a fire estinguisher and a couple teenagers. After getting sent to the princapals office Aaron and Bear (his old friends) tell him that he stole Mr. Solways medal. Chase then trys to return it without Aaron and Bear finding out. But after successfully returning the medal Chase gets sent to court for committing a crime. After that let’s just say that Chase makes it out but there are no spoilers here.In my opinion, I think my sister would have the best time reading this book. It's like right up her alley, her whole book collection is filled with these types of books. Maybe not from Gordon but they can be. Gordon Korman did such an amazing job making it feel like I was in the book and these major events were happening to me in real life. He also did a great job on making the book really good in detail. It was able to have me visulize all the events that were happening, I felt like I could see in the book. But there were a few times the book got a bit boring and I just wanted to stop reading it all at that moment. This book all together is an amazing book and I feel like anyone would have a fun time reading this book. Gordon Korman overal made an outstanding book and a very fun experience to read. While reading I did find some “What is gonna happen next” moments so if you are the type of person that would like that, Restart is a great choice for you. Restart is also a great book for people to learn that it is possible for people to change.

I bought this book for my fifth grade granddaughters. It is holding their interest well. Deals with bullying.

A must-read for anyone who has even been bullied or been a bully. What a marvelous story about 2nd chances. Gordon Korman rocks!

Purchased 5 of them for a small group novel study. We enjoyed the book very much! (Ages 11-13)

Restart is a delightful book! Well written, with perfect changes on point of view, and an amazing way to show the reads that miracles do happen!

This book is a perfect book for kids, maybe 12+. It is one of those books every 12+ kid should read. It touches on so many subjects, bullying, forgiveness, kindness, kids supporting and being there for one another during difficult times, and growth.I can’t wait to share it with my students.
