"A special new edition of a much-loved classic, perfect for fans of beautiful books and powerful stories."
Classic stories are generally classics for a reason, and that is certainly true of Malorie Blackman’s Pigheart Boy. As relevant and readable now as it was when it was first published over 20 years ago, this is a sensitive, informative and considered story about organ donation and what it feels like to be at the centre of a media storm.
Cameron is a typical thirteen-year-old who loves his family, hanging out with his friends and swimming. But Cameron is also very different to his peers, his heart doesn’t work properly, and his future looks increasingly bleak. When a specialist doctor offers hope in the form of a startingly new procedure Cameron decides that the risk is worth the chance of a future, but not everybody agrees with his decision.
Beautifully told with Blackman’s incredible talent for creating real, believable characters who challenge the reader to question and consider their own beliefs, Pigheart Boy is well-deserving of its decades of praise. As well as an award-winning BBC TV series, the novel has enjoyed many different editions and covers, and now it joins other great children’s books as a Puffin Clothbound Classic.
These beautiful, hardback editions are collectors’ favourites featuring real clothing bindings, two-coloured foil covers and sprayed edges. Further enhanced by a funny and heartfelt foreword from the nation’s favourite doctor-turned author, Adam Kay, this is a must have for fans and those for whom reading is a sensory experience.
