Pig-Heart Boy is a children's novel by Malorie Blackman, which was first published in 1997.

It shows the life of a teenage boy who undergoes a heart transplant.

[1][2] It was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and adapted into a television series, which was broadcast by Children's BBC in 1999.

Although the television adaptation was overall quite faithful to the book, some aspects were changed, including some characters' names (for example, Dr. Bryce is labelled Professor Rae in the television version), and also the fact that Cam had not been the first patient to have had a pig transplant with Dr. Bryce/Professor Rae.

The television adaptation won the BAFTA Award for Children's Drama in 2000.
