"Garvey in the Dark is more than a beautifully crafted novel in
verse. It's a story that faces news headlines and captures the wild
emotional roller coaster of the COVID-19 pandemic with honesty and
courage. A must-read for young people who lived through the early
days of the outbreak as well as those who will be curious about it
in years to come." -Kate Messner, New York Times bestselling author
"With deceptive simplicity, Grimes captures characters and emotions
by wielding a poetic form-the tanka-with superb and superhuman
strength, and the result is a beautiful and brilliant book about
how faith, grace, and familial love can help us triumph over
adversity..." -Padma Venkatraman, Walter Award-winning author of
The Bridge Home Capturing the shock and impact of the COVID-19
pandemic through the eyes of Garvey, a beloved character, Nikki
Grimes's newest novel in verse shows readers how to find hope in
difficult times. Garvey's finally happy-he's feeling close to his
father through their shared love of music, bullies are no longer
tormenting him, and his best friends Manny and Joe are by his side.
But when the schools, stores, and restaurants close because people
are getting sick, Garvey's improved life goes into lockdown as
well. And when Garvey's father gets sick, Garvey must find a way to
use his newfound musical skills to bring hope to both his father
and himself. Moving, powerful, and beautifully told, this
remarkable novel shows readers how even small acts have large
reverberations, how every person can make a difference in this
world, and how-even in the most difficult times-there are ways to
reach for hope and healing. Nikki Grimes is a New York Times
bestselling author who has won the ALAN Award for outstanding
contributions to young adult literature, the Children's Literature
Legacy Award, the Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement,
and NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children. She has also
received several ALSC Notables, a Coretta Scott King Author Award,
Coretta Scott King Author Honors, Boston Globe-Horn Book Honors, a
Printz Honor, and a Sibert Honor.
