This was a really cute, funny middle-grade novel about second chances. The protagonist is an eighth grader who falls off of a roof and suffers amnesia, forgetting his friends, family, and reputation. The book follows his journey as the "new" him tries to restart his life while constant reminders of the "old" him tend to get in the way. I really enjoyed it.
