Garvey’s Choice: The Graphic Novel
Nikki Grimes, illustrated by Theodore Taylor III
Garvey’s father wishes he were athletic, but Garvey prefers astronomy, science fiction, and reading to sports. Feeling unsuccessful in his father’s eyes, Garvey turns to food for comfort. He is overweight, lonely, and bullied, though he is also a kind, funny, smart, loyal friend. At a friend’s suggestion, he joins the school chorus, where he becomes a soloist and finds a musical way to connect with his distant father.
