SUMMARY:Pig Heart Boy
DESCRIPTION:Is it better to have a pig’s heart that works … than a human heart that doesn’t? \nCameron is thirteen\, and all he wants is to be normal – have friends\, go to school\, and dive to the bottom of his local swimming pool. But he desperately needs a heart transplant and time is running out. When he’s finally offered a new heart\, Cameron must choose how far he’ll go to get his life back. \nFrom the multi-award-winning writer Malorie Blackman OBE\, author of Noughts and Crosses\, this brilliant novel is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation by Winsome Pinnock\, and is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in a Unicorn co-production with Sheffield Theatres and Children’s Theatre Partnership. \nPig Heart Boy was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted by the BBC into a Bafta award-winning TV series.

SUMMARY:Pig Heart Boy
DESCRIPTION:Is it better to have a pig’s heart that works … than a human heart that doesn’t? \nCameron is thirteen\, and all he wants is to be normal – have friends\, go to school\, and dive to the bottom of his local swimming pool. But he desperately needs a heart transplant and time is running out. When he’s finally offered a new heart\, Cameron must choose how far he’ll go to get his life back. \nFrom the multi-award-winning writer Malorie Blackman OBE\, author of Noughts and Crosses\, this brilliant novel is brought to life in a brand-new adaptation by Winsome Pinnock\, and is directed by Tristan Fynn-Aiduenu in a Unicorn co-production with Sheffield Theatres and Children’s Theatre Partnership. \nPig Heart Boy was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted by the BBC into a Bafta award-winning TV series.
