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 Wordsong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/4\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5\" H x 5\" L x 0.6\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781629797403\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48011691360410,"sku":"9781629797403","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/3015\/4138\/files\/9781629797403.jpg?v=1778508165","url":"https:\/\/unclejonsbookfactory.com\/products\/garveys-choice-nikki-grimes-hardcover","provider":"Uncle Jon's Book Factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
