pig heart boy- malorie blackman
i like how i always pick a book randomly, and it turns out to be such a good book!this book caught my attention because the way "pig heart boy" is written, it looks like letters taken from a magazine. anyways, cameron is a thirteen year old boy desperately in need of a heart transplant. he had a disease two years ago which caused his heart to become weaker and weaker, with only one year to live- at most. a pioneering doctors offer to give cameron a new heart, but instead of a human heart... it's from a pig. it has never been done before. cameron hasn't been excercising the last two years, since his heart can't take it. with a new heart... a pigs heart... hopefully, he can live a normal life just like his friends.
this book has problem after problem, when you least expect it which made me wanna read it all at once!

Jess,
Did you like the way, the book was written like letters in a magazine?
Yesterday, on the news, they talked about people being able to donate organs to other people while they were still alive. It is still at the discussion stage but it is an interesting idea. Many people die waiting for an organ transplant.
