Title of Book: Restart

What was the problem in the book, and how was it solved? Be specific. Chase was a bully at school.

 He falls off his roof and he gets a concussion. So he goes to school for the first time after his

accident. Chase meets some of his old friends. Also makes new ones that he was not nice to before

the accident. Chase changes his ways with being mean. Before he fell he bullied a kid so bad and the

boy Joel moved to a new school.  The boy came back after his accident because Chase became a nice

kit.

What was the author's purpose or purposes in writing the book? Explain how you know.  Entertain, it

has fictional characters and has a fiction story. He wanted to show that a person can change.

What did the title have to do with the book? Chase gets a restart on his life because he was a bully.

Tell in your own words how the setting of the story made it more interesting. Be specific.  It has a

realistic setting at a school with classmates how they were interact.  This made the book fun to read.

The story interested me because it had a video club at the school.

If one of the characters visited our classroom, what question would you ask them? (Make sure the

question relates to the plot/problem/actions of the story.) *Give the name of the character with the

question!!* Brendon is a kid in the video club that Chase met after the accident and became friends.

How did you feel about Chase when he joined the video club?  What do you think about Chase now

that things have changed? Do you trust him as a friend?

Pretend you are a librarian recommending the book to someone. Write a paragraph telling what you

would say. I liked this book a lot. It had a very good storyline about an eighth grader who was a bully

and had an accident that caused amnesia. It makes you feel like you are in the book listening the

characters thoughts.

If they made a movie of this book, which scene would be most important to include. Explain the

scene with details and why it's important. When Chase fell of the roof. If you did not see that you

would not understand why he has amnesia.
