Feeling like a failure, he comforts himself with food. Garvey is kind, funny, smart, a loyal friend, and he is also overweight, teased by bullies, and lonely. When his only friend encourages him to join the school chorus, Garvey's life changes. The chorus finds a new soloist in Garvey, and through chorus, Garvey finds a way to accept himself, and a way to finally reach his distant father--by speaking the language of music instead of the language of sports.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53773006930193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781629797403.jpg?v=1783976669","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-garvey-s-choice-by-nikki-grimes","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
