Award-winning author Nikki Grimes's beloved novel in verse Garvey's
Choice is now a graphic novel, imaginatively and dramatically
illustrated by Little Shaq artist Theodore Taylor III. Garvey's
father has always wanted Garvey to be athletic, but Garvey is
interested in 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 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. Garvey's Choice was a School Library Journal
Best Book, a Kirkus Reviews Best Book, a Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry
Award Honor Book, and a Paterson Prize for Books for Young People
Honor Book. With Theodore Taylor III's full-color illustrations,
this graphic novel edition is enthralling and inspiring.
