Summary: Trevor McKinney, a 12 year old, is determined to make the world a better place, thanks to an extra credit assignment he takes on. His mother is furious, of course, that it has led to Trevor giving shelter to a homeless man. But, it’s much more than that....it’s the love and caring that Trevor shows towards all human beings that ultimately shows what kind of boy he really is...a tremendous one with a huge heart.
