Description:

What happens when life hands you a totally clean slate? Thirteen-year-old Chase Ambrose tumbles off the roof of his house, smacks his head and wakes up in hospital with absolutely no memory — not of his family, not of his school, not even his own name. Heading back to eighth grade should help, but the reactions he gets are wildly confusing: some kids hero-worship him, others flinch when he walks past, and one furious girl dumps frozen yogurt over his head. Slowly, Chase begins to piece together a troubling truth — he was the school's biggest bully and a football star feared by everyone. Now, with the chance to write his own story from scratch, can he choose to become someone better? Told through multiple voices, this funny, surprising and big-hearted novel explores second chances, identity and the courage to truly change.
