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. This emotionally resonant novel in verse by award-winning author Nikki Grimes celebrates choosing to be true to yourself.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49525543928081,"sku":"CIN1338272713G","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50306052849937,"sku":"CIN1338272713VG","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372357292305,"sku":"CIN1338272713A","price":4.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1338272713.jpg?v=1751176754","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/garvey-s-choice-book-nikki-grimes-9781338272710","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
