Catherine Ryan Hyde's Pay It Forward

The Book that I read was a drama called Pay It Forward. The author who wrote this piece is named Catherine Ryan Hyde. Catherine Ryan Hyde has a family of a dog named Ella, a cat named Jordan, and a horse named soul. Hyde also loves to hike, travel and connect with her readers through her books that she has written, and the pictures and videos that she taken of her travels.

When she realized that he had not, she felt bad for Eugene and wanted to be back together. This happened when Trevor ran away after being abused by his mother and, together, Arlene and Eugene searched for him and soon fell back in

The story was also very informing and insightful on the power of a child to change the world. It also showed how small ideas can make a large difference for the better of the community or even the world. I enjoyed reading the book because of the drama between Eugene and Arlene as well as the fact that it inspired different ideas of my own to change the world.
