Dear Gordon Korman,

Me and my classmates read restart and we all really enjoyed it. I really liked how many really important moments there were in just one book. A few questions I would like to ask you.What is the story behind restart if there is one? Is this something that has happened to you or one of your close friends or family? Or was Restart just completely made up?And what was the climax of restart?

Hi, Remi M & RA,

Thanks for your interest.

The story behind RESTART is that it came wholly and completely out of my head. Sorry, but it's 100% fiction.

Pick your climax. Sme people are sure it's the scene of the fight at the old folks' home when Chase goes to return the medal. And others are convinced it's the courtroom scene when the whole community comes to stick up for Chase.

I hope you'll read SLUGFEST, which is about flag football. -----Gordon Korman-----
