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":"Nikki Grimes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US) \/ Astra Publishing \/ 2021-09-14","offer_id":41646721269947,"sku":"9781635925111","price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_dae69146-2262-4ca4-8f61-e62d8a49e14b.jpg?v=1638589518","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781635925111","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
