Pay it Forward

The story of how an idea became a movement in the US, and then spread internationally. One good turn deserves another. It’s a revolutionary idea.

Catherine Ryan Hyde’s international sensation, Pay It Forward, is the story of Trevor McKinney, a twelve-year-old boy who accepts his social studies teacher’s challenge to come up with a plan to change the world.

Trevor’s idea is simple: do a good deed for three people and ask them to “pay it forward” to three others who need help. He envisions a vast movement of kindness and goodwill spreading beyond his small California town and across the world.

The book was made into a film.
