Pay It Forward — Catherine Ryan Hyde

Description

Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde is the internationally acclaimed novel that sparked a global movement of kindness. When twelve-year-old Trevor McKinney’s social studies teacher challenges his class to come up with an idea to change the world, Trevor’s plan is simple yet revolutionary: do a good deed for three people and ask each of them to “pay it forward” by helping three others. Though the idea at first seems naïve, it soon begins to ripple outward in unexpected and extraordinary ways.

As acts of kindness begin to multiply beyond Trevor’s small Californian town, a journalist traces the phenomenon back to its source, and Trevor’s story captures national attention. But even as the world changes around him, Trevor remains focused on more personal hopes — bringing together his hardworking mother and his quietly heroic teacher, Reuben St. Clair. With emotional depth and unforgettable characters, Hyde explores the power of compassion, the impact of one person’s actions, and the courage it takes to believe in others.

Pay It Forward is an inspiring, heartfelt novel about the quiet revolution of doing good. Perfect for readers who believe in the power of hope and humanity.
