Description
Cameron's life is far from normal. At just 13 years old, he desperately needs a new heart because his own doesn't work properly. A radical and unprecedented procedure is offered: a pig's heart will be transplanted into his human body. It's a risk, but it's the only hope for a life that's anything like a 'normal' one.
As Cameron comes to terms with the idea, he faces a world that's less accepting than he ever imagined. Can he convince those around him that a pig's heart is better than a human one that doesn't work? This thought-provoking story explores the complexities of life, identity, and what it means to be human.
