Patrick's Pals #5: Schoolin'

by Robb Armstrong, Bruce Smith

One-on-One with Dad. Patrick's got a major game coming up with the hyper-tough Sky Walkers. There's going to be a huge crowd, and all the Bulldogs are inviting their families...except Patrick. Ever since Patrick's mom passed away, he hasn't invited his dad to a Bulldogs game. It just feels to strange to have only one parent watching from courtside. So he lies to his dad to keep him from coming. But lying just makes things worse. Can Patrick make everything right before the big hoopfest? Or will the truth finally catch up with him?
