Korman, G. (2017). Restart. New York: Scholastic.

Korman has written a wonderful book looking into the world of bullying. He shows the life of Chase Ambrose from before his accident and after his accident. Chase does not remember the Chase from before he fell off his roof, but everyone else at his Middle School does. He discovers things about himself that he is not proud of. Before his accident he was the biggest school bully. He befriends the people he bullied the most without even realizing it. The book allows the reader to see the perspective of all the characters from first person. 

This is a great book to read with young people to show them how bullying others can make them feel. The consequences that can develop from what they think is innocent fun, but others do not see that way. I like the twist on how the book makes one see that just because one acts a certain way it does not mean they have to be like that. People can change for the better.
