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"--Provided by publisher.Fathers and sonsJuvenile fictionSingingJuvenile fictionHobbiesJuvenile fictionFriendshipJuvenile fictionObesityJuvenile fictionFathers and sonsFictionSingingFictionHobbiesFictionNovels in verseObesityfast(OCoLC)fst01042738Friendshipfast(OCoLC)fst00935174Fathers and sonsfast(OCoLC)fst00921899Hobbiesfast(OCoLC)fst00958515Novels in versefast(OCoLC)fst01039786Singingfast(OCoLC)fst01119311Fathers and sonsSingingHobbiesFriendshipObesityFathers and sonsSingingHobbiesNovels in verse.Obesity.Friendship.Fathers and sons.Hobbies.Novels in verse.Singing.[Fic]Grimes Nikki1248142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910156438003321Garvey's Choice2893073UNINA
