Pig-Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman

Pig-Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman

But most normal kids don't need heart transplants. So there's this doctor. He says there's a chance for you. But he also says it's experimental, controversial and risky. And it's never been done before. Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, this is a powerful, thought-provoking story from the award-winning Malorie Blackman.

A powerful story about friendship, loyalty and family around this topical and controversial issue * Guardian *
