Product Description
Book Jacket
What if the world changed because of my project, wouldn't that be the coolest thing?"
Imagine a world where a good deed is not a big deal. Where a man can give his designer coat to a tramp and nobody is surprised. Where violence and murder has become so rare that policemen are sitting idle. Where one small boy can think up a plan that actually changes the world.

Trevor's vision is simple: do a good deed for three people, and instead of expecting them to pay you back, ask them to pay forward to three more people. And so, with single-minded determination, he sets his plan in motion

Pay It Forward is a magical, bittersweet novel about a 12-year-old child who changes the world.

Synopsis
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The story might not change your life, but it will enhance it, 27 Feb 2001
I was a little sceptical before reading this book - it was recommended by a friend, so I gave it a try. Having heard about the film and read the back cover, I was expecting a slice of all-American schmaltz, but was pleasantly surprised!

Catherine Ryan Hyde is an outstanding writer with a real talent for dialogue. Like the shooting stars in this story, the effect this novel has on the reader is to make them feel like they're just the same as everybody else and that we're all connected in some way.

And even though it's sadly unlikely that this book will change your life (or the world), it will make you feel hopeful and touched for some time after you read it.
