The story Restart follows Chase Ambrose as he navigates his way through 7th grade. The only thing is that Chase can’t remember anything from his past after he fell off his roof. Chase has to figure out his past and who he used to be. Will he choose his past or make a new version of himself? This book is great because you get to hear all of the main characters' points of views in different chapters. My favorite characters are Joel and Shoshanna. I would recommend this book for late elementary and middle schoolers.

I really enjoyed reading this book! A Stranger in the House is about a woman who gets into a car accident after fleeing the scene of a murder. She loses all memory of what happened. Throughout the book, she begins to uncover small changes in her house and the people around her, making her feel as though someone has been breaking into her house. The characters were interesting to follow and you were guessing what happened throughout the entire book.

Molly is driving back, but she doesn't know from where. And she doesn't know to where.  All she knows is that she should be in school, but she's in her car instead. Suddenly she sees a motorcycle speeding up behind her. Somehow she knows that he is coming for her. She passes through the intersection as the light turns red. The motorcycle keeps coming; it runs the red light. A truck enters the intersection, catching the back tire of the motorcycle, sending is spinning.  The rider flies through the air, over Molly's car and lands on the asphalt right in front of her.

The Sinclairs spend every summer on their private island, Beechwood. Born within a few short months of each other, 3 of the Sinclair grandchildren and one friend of the family spend the summers thick as thieves, calling themselves The Liars. Cadence, Johnny, Mirren and Gat are inseparable every year, but the summer of their fifteenth year, things start to change. Cadence begins to fall in love with Gat (a friend of the family who is invited to Beechwood every summer) while the Sinclair family falls apart around them.

I am generous with 4 star ratings, but I don't give out a lot of 5 stars; I reserve those for the most exceptional books. This was an exceptional book!
