                                   Pig Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman

 

                                        

 

Pig Heart Boy is a children's novel by Malorie Blackman. It tells the story of Cameron, a 13-year-old boy with serious heart problems, who needs a heart transplant to survive. The only chance for him is an experimental and controversial transplant with a heart taken from a pig.

Will Cameron go ahead with the transplant?

 

Pig Heart Boy will be enjoyed in the classroom but also used as a stimulus to support our writing. We will be producing a persuasive letter, as well as a newspaper report.
