and beats with so much heart, your own can't help but grow."--Sarah
Allen, author of What Stars Are Made Of and Breathing
Underwater
"Prepare to have your heart stolen by this hilarious, heartbreaking
entirely unique novel about what it means to be human, to give
everything to help someone else and the powerful bonds of love
between family."--Donna Gephart, award-winning author of Abby,
Tried and True, The Paris Project and Lily and Dunkin
"With a lightheartedness maintained by a delightfully fresh
pig's-eye view of human life, Pighearted raises grave questions,
showing the utmost respect for young readers."--Suzanne LaFleur,
author of Eight Keys and Counting to Perfect
"Debut author Perry, exploring the ethics of animal
experimentation, offers two compelling first-person perspectives,
alternating between a dying boy and an anthropomorphic pig and
providing a sweet, if slightly farfetched, resolution."--Publishers
Weekly
"A heartwarming (and unsettling) reminder to never stop fighting
for those you love."--Kirkus Reviews
