Restart

Written by Gordon Korman

A book for readers in grades 5 and up reviewed by Grayson

    

Restart by Gordon Korman is about a boy in high school. He was a great football player and a terrible bully. He did things to the other kids in school that made them fear him. One boy even had to leave that school. The bully falls off a roof and gets amnesia. He does not understand why everyone, with the exception of his few friends, are terrified of him. We watch him struggle with what he was like and how he now wants to be. 

Restart was excellent. So many kids are bullied in school, and this book shows them that they are not alone. It also shows bullies how their actions and words terribly affect other kids. I would recommend this book to all middle school students.
