Can one good deed from an ordinary girl change the world?
It can when she's Ordinary Mary--an ordinary girl from an ordinary school, on her way to ordinary house--who stumbles upon ordinary blueberries. When she decides to pick them for her neighbor, Mrs. Bishop, she starts a chain reaction that multiplies around the world. Mrs. Bishop makes blueberry muffins and gives them to her paperboy and four others--one of whom is Mr. Stevens, who then helps five different people with their luggage--one of whom is Maria, who then helps five people--including a man named Joseph who didn't have enough money for his groceries--and so on, until the deed comes back to Mary.
It's a feel-good story that inspires and celebrates a world full of ordinary deeds!
A young girl's good deed is multiplied as it is passed on by those who have been touched by the kindesss of others.

Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed
When an ordinary little girl named Mary picks some blueberries for her elderly neighbor, she has no idea that she is setting in motion a chain reaction of good deeds and good feelings that will eventually include the entire world. As each person is helped, the happiness they feel leads them to help five others, with kindness radiating outward from its original source - the eponymous Ordinary Mary - and then finding its way back to her again...
Although I do think that its heart is in the right place, and appreciate the message of "paying it forward" that the narrative encourages, somehow Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed didn't quite win me over. I liked the idea of the book, but wasn't particularly moved by it, emotionally speaking. I also wasn't especially impressed by the writing, which incorporates the occasional rhyme, but is otherwise unremarkable. The accompanying artwork by illustrator Fumi Kosaka was likewise not really my cup of tea. Tastes vary, of course, and I can see some really taking this story of a chain reaction of kind deeds to heart. I'd recommend that the potential reader try it, and see for themselves how they feel.
