The House of the Scorpion

What if the whole purpose of your life was to extend the life of another? But luckily no one would tell you this until you were needed to give up your heart, or lung, or kidney. In the book The House of the Scorpion, Matteo Alacrán had to do just that. Born when cut out of a cow, Matt has to go though a bunch of tough trials until he is wanted for a new heart. This book is only 379 pages long and has rather large font.

The book was given three awards including: National Book Award, a Newbery Honor award, and the Michael L. Printza Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature. This book has rather large font and is only 379 pages long. It took me only three days to finish The House of the Scorpion.
