Pig-Heart Boy
by Malorie Blackman

A beautiful clothbound edition of the much-loved modern classic Pig-Heart Boy. Bound in real cloth with two coloured foils and sprayed coloured edges, this deluxe edition is a perfect gift or collector’s item. Part of an eight-book set published to mark the 85th anniversary of Puffin Books, this edition has a brand-new foreword from Adam Kay.
