I enjoyed this book because it made me think how people with heart disease like Cameron actually feel about what people say and do around them. I think after reading this book people will think more about how to act around people with heart disease, a disability or Pig Heart Boy wrong with them. You also got to know how people close to them felt as well like his mum and dad and how they had to make big decisions for their son. Another way to think about it is Dr Bryce's side of the story having to do the operation on Cameron and for some reason people hating him for Pig Heart Boy someone's life. I think it is a powerful story and recommend Pig Heart Boy for all 9 up. My year 6 grandson told me that they had been reading this book in class and insisted that I should read Pig Heart Boy because it was interesting and raised many questions. I read the book and I totally agree with him. Besides raising questions on the ethics of heart transplantation when the heart is that of an animal it is also an eye opener on the world of teenage boys, the Pig Heart Boy of belonging and above all of not losing face. Not the easy, happy life we tend to attribute to those years. Blackman has written about a delicate topic with skill and sensitivity. The story is told from the point of view of a teenage boy who will die unless he agrees to have a ground-breaking operation to give him a new heart from a specially bred pig. Blackman explores many angles: the agony of the parents, the various reactions of the community and the boys friends, the invasive nature of the media, the interests of the doctors and scientists involved and the fears and hopes of the boy himself. The story is told simply and without excess emotion Pig Heart Boy although it touches on the issue of animal rights, it does not lean heavily on one side or another. The reader is left to make up his Pig Heart Boy her own mind. It is open Pig Heart Boy, which left me a little dissatisfied, but I Pig Heart Boy the reasons for this and feel it could not have ended any other way. I read it to check its suitability before recommending it to my granddaughter who is 11 and very mature. I loved this book. As soon as you start reading it you don't want to stop. I was hooked right from the first page. I really love animals and I don't like them being abused but if I was in Cameron's situation I would've definitely had the heart transplant. It was basically a life or death descion. You should read it as soon as possible. I would recommend this book for children over nine years old. Pig Heart Boy was a intruiging story with an innovative concept that has never been properly covered before. The 13 year old boy Cameron Joshua Kelsey has had more than his fair share in life. After getting Pig Heart Boy horrible terminal heart disease there are a small amount of heart donors.

His Mum and Dad are doing everything they can to try and find a can help his weak, failing heart. Then doctor Bryce comes along and offers to do a transplant, it might be a suprise to you, Pig Heart Boy, to know where the heart has come from Read on to find out I would reccommend this moving book to nine and over. Bought for my 14 year old daughter - we all read it over our holiday and had a good discussion about the rights and wrongs. Another brilliant book by Malorie Blackman.
