520 Jeremiah's heart skips a beat before his frist soccer game,
but it's not from nerves. It's the first sign of a heart
attack. He knows he needs to go to the hospital, but he's
determined to score a goal and not let his heart condition
get in the way. Charging after the ball, he refuses to
stop...even if his heart does. J6 is a pig and the only
one of his five brothers who survived the research lab.
Even though he's never left his cell, he thinks of himself
as a therapy pig, a scholar, and a bodyguard. But when the
lab sends him to live with Jeremiah's family, there's on
new title he's desperate to have: brother. At first,
Jeremiah thinks his parents took in J6 to cheer him up.
But before long, he begins to suspect there's more to his
new curly-tailed companion than meets the eye. When the
truth is revealed, Jeremiah and J6 must protect each other
at al costs--even if their lives depend on it. This
charming story about family, sacrifice, and survival--set
against the backdrop of boundary-pushing science and the
ethics behind it--will inspire readers to never stop
figthing for the ones they love.
520 In alternate chapters, twelve-year-old Jeremiah, who has a
fatal heart condition, and J6, the pig growing the heart
that could save his life, give their own perspectives on
being a transplant donor and donee. Includes facts about
the research project on which the story is based.
