Pig heart boy by Marjorie Blackman

Celebrating 85 years of Sparking ImaginationsA 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 85th anniversary of Puffin Books, this edition has a brand-new foreword from Adam Kay.

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 . . .?
