Bookroo's summary

Chase wakes up with no memory after a fall, thrust into a life he doesn't recognize. As he returns to school, he faces mixed reactions—some see him as a hero, others fear him. One girl even dumps yogurt on his head. Who was he before the accident, and who will he become now? With a chance to redefine himself, Chase must navigate the complexities of his past and the possibilities of his future. Can he turn a blank slate into a fresh start, or will his past catch up with him?

From the publisher

The amazing New York Times bestseller about what you can do when life gives you a second chance.Chase’s memory just went out the window. Chase doesn’t remember falling off the roof. He doesn’t remember hitting his head. He doesn’t, in fact, remember anything. He wakes up in a hospital room and suddenly has to learn his whole life all over again . . . starting with his own name. He knows he’s Chase. But who is Chase? When he gets back to school, he sees that different kids have very different reactions to his return. Some kids treat him like a hero. Some kids are clearly afraid of him. One girl in particular is so angry with him that she pours her frozen yogurt on his head the first chance she gets. Pretty soon, it’s not only a question of who Chase is–it’s a question of who he was . . . and who he’s going to be. From the #1 bestselling author of Swindle and Slacker, Restart is the spectacular story of a kid with a messy past who has to figure out what it means to get a clean start.
