'Pig Heart Boy' Description
You're thirteen. All you want is a normal life. But most normal kids don't need heart transplants. So there's this doctor. He says there's a chance for you. But he also says it's experimental, controversial and risky. And it's never been done before. Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, this is a powerful, thought-provoking story from the award-winning Malorie Blackman.
Noughts and Crosses has won several awards, including the Children's Book Award. Malorie has also won the WH Smith Mind-Boggling Books Award and the Young Telegraph/Gimme 5 Award as well as being shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. Her work has appeared on screen and been adapted into a BAFTA-award-winning TV serial. In 2008 Malorie was honoured with an OBE for her services to Children's Literature.
