Pig-Heart Boy Award-winning

Malorie Blackman’s poignant and thought-provoking award-winner. Cameron is thirteen and his heart is failing. He needs a heart transplant – fast. Then a pioneering doctor approaches his family with a startling proposal. He can give Cameron a new heart: a heart from a pig. It’s a weird idea. But Cameron is fed up with sitting on life’s sidelines, unable to play sport or swim. He has to give it a try – even if it means becoming the world’s first pig-heart boy.

Soon Cameron is discovering how great it feels to live a normal life. But there are some people who don’t think it’s normal for a boy to have a pig’s heart. Will Cameron’s new life last long enough for him to discover what it’s really all about? Shocking, original and moving, this is the remarkable story of a boy learning who he really is, while going where no one has ever gone before.

Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany Pig-Heart Boy.

The Pig Heart Boy

Hi, my name is Ashley and I really loved the book there is so much to talk about, but I'm not going to reveal every secret of the book. These are the main characters, Sid, Cameron , Marlon and his parents. Marlon's heart was damaged and he really wanted to play Dare Devil Dive and Football but he couldn't because of his damaged heart so he became rude and frustrated with his heart. Days later, they booked an appointment for the heart transplant.....
Sorry I can't tell you more or it will ruin what's the main point in the book
