"Restart" tackles the subject of bullying in a one-person "prince and the pauper" variant resulting from a head injury. It uses the same chapter-based multi-narrator style as "Gifted" and its sequel (both of which I'd recommend over this) and relies on similarly-exaggerated stereotypes that gradually normalize. It seems more likely that Chase's new personality would be attributable to brain damage instead of being hidden sentiments that surface through amnesia but that's quibbling and this is fiction. My favourite Korman novels are still "I Want To Go Home" and "Who Is Bugs Potter".
