This anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the author. It takes an inspiring and moving tale of a young boy who believed in the power of kindness and brings it to a new generation of readers.Twelve-year-old Trevor McKinney accepts his social studies teachers challenge: come up with a plan to change the world. His idea is simple: Do a good deed for three people and ask them to pay it forward to three others in need. He envisions a vast movement of kindness and goodwill spreading beyond his small California town and across the world. The project, however, appears to falter. Jerry, a bum who receives some allowance money from Trevor, returns to a life of dissolution. Trevor wants his pretty, hardworking mother-a woman who raised him lovingly despite struggles with alcoholism-to marry his teacher, Reuben St. Clair. Reuben is a scarred, bitter, untrusting man with a disfiguring injury from Vietnam. He seems to come alive only when in front of his class. For a time that matchmaking brings nothing but problems. Ultimately, though, unusual things start to happen. Crime rates dip across the nation, and nobody seems to know why. Then a journalist tracks down the source: an epidemic of random acts of kindness.Anyone who has ever despaired of one persons ability to effect change will rejoice in Trevors courage and determination to see the good in everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091837612320,"sku":"NEW1476796386","price":10.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pay-it-forward-1476796386","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
