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 Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42371107848253,"sku":"9781635925111","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781635925111_p0.jpg?v=1771584054","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9781635925111","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
