Pig Heart Boy

I am drowning in this roaring silence. I am drowning. I'm going to die...

Cameron is thirteen and desperately in need of a heart transplant when a pioneering doctor approaches his family with a startling proposal. He can give Cameron a new heart - but not one from a human, one from a pig.

It's never been done before. Its experimental, risky and very controversial. And it's all up to Cameron. Will he become the world's first ever pig-heart boy?
