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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astra Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037158719728,"sku":"9781635925111","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781635925111_p0.jpg?v=1763683422","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781635925111","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
