Garvey’s father has at all times wanted Garvey to be athletic, but Garvey is keen on astronomy, science fiction, reading—anything but sports. Feeling like a failure, he comforts himself with food. Garvey is kind, funny, smart, a loyal friend, and he’s also overweight, teased by bullies, and lonely. When his only friend encourages him to sign up for the college chorus, Garvey’s life changes. The chorus finds a new soloist in Garvey, and through chorus, Garvey finds a option to accept himself, and a option to in the end reach his distant father—by speaking the language of music as an alternative of the language of sports. This emotionally resonant novel in verse by award-winning creator Nikki Grimes celebrates choosing to be true to yourself.
