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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nikki Grimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Astra Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3\" H x 4.9\" L x 0.4\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781635925111\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67449995723056,"sku":"9781635925111","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781635925111.jpg?v=1785831137","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/garveys-choice-nikki-grimes-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
