With Theodore Taylor III’s full-color illustrations, this graphic novel edition is enthralling and inspiring. 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. 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. When his only friend encourages him to join the school chorus, Garvey’s life changes. Garvey is kind, funny, smart, a loyal friend, and he is also overweight, teased by bullies, and lonely. Feeling like a failure, he comforts himself with food. Garvey’s father has always wanted Garvey to be athletic, but Garvey is interested in astronomy, science fiction, reading-anything but sports. 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.
