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 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 . . .?
