Kevin is determined that he'll never join a gang but his path crosses the Tribe's when he saves one of them from a rival gang. Invited to take their initiation test, Kevin plans to break the oath of secrecy and tell everyone. But he falls under the spell of the gang leader, Salom, and becomes a member. Kevin then discovers how hard it is to break away from the Tribe's rules and Salom's power, for when he's challenged Salom always makes you sorry. In this case he fastens on to Kevin's little sister, Glory, and Kevin is forced to take the initiation test again as his sister freezes with horror crossing a beam high above a ruined building.
 With the development of effective antiretroviral therapies
(ART) in the mid-1990s, HIV became a treatable although serious
condition, and people who are adherent to HIV medications can
attain normal or near-normal life expectancies. Because of the
success of ART, people 50 and older now make up a majority of
people with HIV in high-income countries and other places where ART
is accessible. The aging of the HIV epidemic is a global trend that
is also being observed in low- and middle-income countries,
including countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where the greatest
number of older people with HIV reside (3.7 million). While
globally over half of older adults with HIV are in sub-Saharan
Africa, we have little information about the circumstances, needs,
and resiliencies of this population, which limits our ability to
craft effective policy and programmatic responses to aging with HIV
in this region. At present, our understanding of HIV and aging is
dominated by information from the U.S. and Western Europe, where
the epidemiology of HIV and the infrastructure to provide social
care are markedly different than in sub-Saharan Africa. Aging
with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa addresses this gap in our
knowledge by providing current research and perspectives on a range
of health and psychosocial topics concerning these older adults
from across this region. This volume provides a unique and timely
overview of growing older with HIV in a sub-Saharan African
context, covering such topics as epidemiology, health and
functioning, and social support, as well as policy and program
implications to support those growing older with HIV. There are
very few published volumes that address HIV and aging, and this is
the first book to consider HIV and aging in sub-Saharan Africa.
Most publications in this area focus on HIV and aging in Uganda and
South Africa. This volume broadens the scope with contributions
from authors working in West Africa, Botswana, and Kenya. The range
of topics covered here will be useful to professionals in a range
of disciplines including psychology, epidemiology, gerontology,
sociology, health care, public health, and social work.
What transforms an ordinary Edinburgh boy into the most infamous
split personality of all time? This vividly imagined diary of the
young Henry Jekyll examines the contradictions within us all and

Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A haunting
and atmospheric imagining of a classic tale. Particularly suitable
for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 9+
If it wasn't for Tom, one young boy would be much happier at school
- he would be able to play football without being taunted from the

football as well? This thought-provoking story was written by
award-winning author Catherine MacPhail. Collins Big Cat Progress
books are specifically designed for children at Key Stage 2 who
have a Key Stage 1 reading level, giving them age-appropriate texts
that they can read, building their confidence and fostering
positive attitudes towards reading. Text type: A story by a
significant author Curriculum links: Citizenship; P.E. This book
has been quizzed for Accelerated Reader.
