Today I was assigned to write an article about my favorite book! I'm choosing Restart as opposed to the Masterminds trilogy as I feel a stand-alone will be easier to review. I was wondering if you have any thoughts or fun facts about yourself or the novel I can share.

To be honest, I have no idea how to write a book report (despite being a sophomore in high school) but I still want to give it my best shot. Thank you for your time!

Hi, Amelia,

A book report has to tell the story of the book, outline the main characters, and mention the author and whatever pertinent details about him/her you think should be there. You need to know the theme of the book (in the case of RESTART, it's "second chances." Or "starting fresh." Your choice.)

Fun facts about the author should not really enter into the report. The only one I can think of that you might want to slip in is the fact that RESTART has been on the New York Times Bestseller List for over 5 years!

If you enjoyed the book, you should enjoy writing the report. Good luck! -----Gordon Korman-----
