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":"Astra Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951205073085,"sku":"BS-TC0-925111","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9781635925111-HD.jpg?v=1786022902","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/garveys-choice","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
