Book 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.
