Chase is a junior high athlete who falls off a roof one day and wakes up with total amnesia. He doesn’t even recognize his own mother. As he learns to navigate his “new” circumstances he gradually finds out that he is a bully and a jerk. He sees the terror in the eyes of his 4 yr. old sister and in the faces of his classmates.
This book has universal appeal! I had a 5th grade boy come up to the desk when I was talking about it to give his enthusiastic recommendation! I couldn’t put it down!
