Pig-Heart Boy

<<Celebrating 85 years of Sparking Imaginations
<
A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Pig-Heart Boy. Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector''s item. Part of an eight book set published to mark the 85

All Cameron wants is a ''normal'' life - friends, swimming, school, family.

But most normal thirteen-year-olds don''t desperately need a new heart because theirs doesn''t work properly.

One doctor offers hope. Cameron could - if he and his parents agree - take part in a radical and controversial procedure involving the transplant of a pig''s heart into his human body. It''s risky. And it''s never been done before . . .

While Cameron comes to terms with the idea, he finds the world around him is much, much less accepting. But surely everyone will understand that it''s better to have a pig''s heart that works than a human heart that doesn''t - won''t they . . .?
