Dear Mr. Korman,

I am reading this book with two students I tutor. This has been voted the \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Best book I have read, " but we are wondering....who is the girl in the dress with the blonde hair that Chase always envisions, but cannot remember who it is.

Also, will you be creating a sequel? Or a movie for this book?

The girl say it should be called Bear and Aaron\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Comeback. :)

Thanks for providing such a great read.

Hi! I'm not Gord, but that's really cool! The girl is (Spoiler Alert, Highlight the rest of this sentence to see it) Revealed at the end of the book. She is the girl in the painting of his neighbor's house that Chase can see from the roof of his house, and that painting is the last thing he saw before he fell off the roof. It was his most recent memory.

Hi, Karen J. & 2 Students,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that RESTART is making a hit with the three of you! Thanks for taking the time to write and tell me so.

Your questions: A movie will be up to a film cmpany -- there is one right now working on turning the book into a movie, so let's keep a good thought, OK? As for a sequel, I haven't planned one, but I wouldn't rule it out. No promises -- an indefinite "maybe" is the best I can do right now. As for the girl with the blonde hair, that will all become clear to you when you've finished the book. I promise.

Thanks again, people! -----Gordon Korman-----
