Review

Richard Paul Evans Author of "The Christmas Box" A good read and an inspiring novel; fascinating in its implications. Catherine Ryan Hyde joyfully delivered me from "if only," to "what if?" to "why not?" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Denver Post

'The philosophy behind the book is so intriguing, and the optimism
so contagious . . . a book that lingers long after the last page is
turned.' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Chicago Tribune

'Catherine Ryan Hyde accomplishes a very difficult job, with an
easy, beneficent wisdom about the ways of the world.' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Amazon.com

'Pay it Forward is reminiscent of Frank Kapra's It's a Wonderful
Life . . . it takes courage to write so unabashedly hopeful a story in such
cynical times.' --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

Three imperfect people. One perfect idea . . . The extraordinary, inspirational novel from the author of Love in the Present Tense --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

What if everyone in the world did a good deed for three people, and what if each of those "paid it forward" by doing a good deed for three more, and so on, until the world was a different place. Teacher Reuben St Clair asks his class to do just that and 12-year-old Trevor amazes everyone.

From the Publisher

From the bestselling author of Love in the Present Tense -
selected by Richard & Judy's Book Club - Pay it Forward launched an
extraordinary movement in the US. Perfect
for fans of Mark Haddon, Mitch Albom and Alice Sebold, this
thought-provoking, compulsive novel shows how a simple story has the power
to move people in the most extraordinary ways. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

From the Back Cover

It all started with a school project:

Think of an idea for world change, and put it into action

Whilst this proved a little ambitious for most of his classmates, twelve-year-old Trevor thought he could start by doing something good for three people. But instead of paying him back, he would ask them to 'pay it forward' by doing a favour for three more people. If it all went to plan, Trevor thought, it would be the start of a long chain of human kindness . . .

Sound unlikely? Well a lot of other people had their doubts too - Trevor's teacher, his classmates, his mother, in fact everyone in his small California town. It could never really work. . . could it?

'Catherine Ryan Hyde accomplishes a very difficult job, with an easy, beneficent wisdom about the ways of the world'
