RESTART

Hotshot football star and notorious middle school bully Chase Ambrose awakens from a coma after an accidental fall. His memory is gone. As Chase, Jonathan Todd Ross delivers a thoughtful narration, moving from confusion and bewilderment to growing awareness. While Chase navigates the now unfamiliar terrain of home and school, his parents and classmates, including those who had been on the receiving end of "the terror's" antics, narrate their own chapters. The two standouts are Ramon de Ocampo as Brandon, a scrappy "vidiot" (proud A/V club member) who is curious about Chase's transformation and gives him a chance, and Laura Knight Keating, who convincingly portrays Shoshanna's transformation from hatred and suspicion of Chase to skepticism, then trust. A hopeful story of redemption told from multiple perspectives. A.S. 2018 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2018]
