The story of how a boy who believed in the goodness of human nature
set out to change the world.
Pay It Forward is a wondrous and moving novel about Trevor McKinney, a twelve-year-old boy in a small California town who accepts the challenge that his teacher gives his class,
a chance to earn extra credit by coming up with a plan to change the world for the better -- and to put that plan into action.
The idea that Trevor comes up with is so simple and so naïve that when others learn of it they are dismissive. Even Trevor himself begins to doubt when his "pay it forward" plan seems to founder on a combination of bad luck and the worst of human nature.
In the end, Pay It Forward is the story of seemingly ordinary people made extraordinary by the simple faith of a child. In the tradition of the successful and inspirational television show Touched by an Angel, and the phenomenally successful novel and film Forrest Gump, Pay It Forward is a work of charm, wit, and remarkable inspiration,
a story of hope for today and for many tomorrows to come.

I can't think of anything to say about this book that won't be a *spoiler* so I'll just say this ...
If you've seen the movie but not read the book then you need to remedy that.
Just about the only thing that the two have in common is the title.
(It really blows me away that they even changed skin color in the movie ... racist much, Hollywood?)
