The Blurb On The Back:

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. It's experimental, risky and very controversial. But Cameron is fed up with just sitting on the side of life, always watching and never doing. He has to try - to become the world's first pig-heart boy.


The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Moving and satisfying on an emotional and intellectual level. This deals with a complex subject in an interesting and thought-provoking way and never feels as though it's talking down to the reader.
