Class Reader

In class we are reading 'Pig Heart Boy' by Malorie Blackman.
Ask your child: In Chapters 7 and 8, Cameron learns more about the pig heart transplant and starts thinking seriously about what it would mean for him. How do you think Cameron feels? Why is it such a difficult decision for him to make?
