"The internationally acclaimed sensation that started a movement of giving.When his teacher sets a challenge to his class to come up with a plan to change the world for the better, twelve-year-old Trevor McKinney&#8217;s idea is simple: Do a good deed for three people and ask each of them to &#8220;pay it forward&#8221; to three others who need help. At first, the plan goes awry, and Trevor&#8217;s project seems valuable only as a lesson on the dark side of human nature. But then something amazing starts to happen: a vast movement of kindness and goodwill spreading beyond Trevor&#8217;s small California town and across the world.  Soon a journalist with a story of his own tracks down the source of the epidemic, and makes Trevor a celebrity. Yet Trevor has problems closer to home: he wants his pretty, hardworking mother to see the softer side of his beloved teacher, Reuben St. Clair, a scarred Vietnam veteran who seems to come alive only when he&#8217;s in front of his class. In the end, Pay It Forward is the story of seemingly ordinary people made extraordinary by the faith of a child&#8212;a story so powerful it has inspired people around the world to follow its example in their own lives. Anyone who has ever despaired of one person&#8217;s ability to effect change will rejoice in this novel&#8217;s triumphant message of hope."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
