Fun-loving Patrick was always on the go. He played the piano and loved to toboggan, skate and ski. So his younger sister barely noticed that he needed daily shots because of his hemophilia. She also didn't know Patrick had a secret. Because of a tainted blood transfusion, he was HIV positive. Nobody but their parents knew. Patrick continued his life of laughter, friendship and accomplishment, until he developed full-blown AIDS. He then decided to go public so that others would realize that HIV and AIDS are preventable. Patrick had one wish—to raise awareness and find a cure. This compelling story of his life is aimed at making his wish come true.\u003cbr\u003e\n25193\tIn How to Handle a Bully,\" Ms. MacArthur's class is pumped about the fitness challenge at the park. Kids from local schools will compete in a series of events such as chin-ups, a tire run, a bicycle obstacle course, and monkey-bar swinging. The winner will get a brand-new bike! But when Rilla and her classmates, Lauren and Nicholas, go to the park to practise, a threatening bully and his sidekicks stop them. Will they ever get to use the playground in order to win any of the fitness challenge events?     Though bullying is a serious topic many kids face, the tone of the book is funny, light and positive, and in the end, the Bayfield kids succeed in pulling together to curb the bully's bad behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43663671558204,"sku":null,"price":6.36,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781897187708.jpg?v=1762967666","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/patricks-wish-25192","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
