Gordon Korman doesn't disappoint with this book called Restart. I love the way he envisioned the life of a bully and how someone could get a new start. I also how he describes a serious topic re:concussions but manages to infuse his sense of humour into the situation. My students really enjoyed reading this book and it's a great read aloud for students in grades 6 and up. I would recommend reading this at the beginning of the year to create community and to enable students to try to see others in a new light. This novel opens up great discussions around one's reputation, after affects of concussions and how we need to give others a second chance.
