Swap A Paperclip For A House

one red paperclipOne Red Paperclip is a wonderful little book that follows the adventures of Kyle MacDonald as he traded from a red paperclip all the way to a house.

The book is more about the journey and the people he meets along the way than anything else.

MacDonald's story is fascinating.

Who would have thought that you could start off with a paperclip which cost a few cent and end up twelve months later with an actual house?

Along the way MacDonald meets some really interesting people including Alice Cooper.

The book is enjoyable to say the least and shows that if you put your mind to something, have a bit of imagination and refuse to give up you can achieve things that others believe are impossible.
