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":"WORDSONG","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67780943479074,"sku":"9781635925111-new","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781635925111.jpg?v=1794456775","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/garveys-choice-9781635925111-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
