Description
Pighearted by Alex Perry tells the heart-wrenching and humorous story of an unlikely friendship between two very different individuals. Jeremiah's life is turned upside down when his heart skips a beat before his first soccer game, forcing him to confront the reality of his fatal condition. Meanwhile, J6, a pig who survived a research lab, finds himself in Jeremiah's family home, where he longs for connection and belonging.
As their lives become increasingly intertwined, Jeremiah begins to suspect that there is more to J6 than meets the eye. The truth about J6's past is revealed, putting both boys in grave danger. With their lives depending on it, Jeremiah and J6 must rely on each other for protection and support.
This poignant and engaging tale explores themes of family, friendship, and the power of connection in the face of adversity. With its unique blend of humor and heart, Pighearted is a story that will stay with readers long after they finish reading.
