Garvey's Choice is a fast-paced novel in verse that is appropriate for elementary and middle grade students. Nikki Grimes tackles important themes such as body image, toxic messages from parents, and moderate (verbal) bullying. This book would be an excellent introduction to the genre and would be a great addition to a classroom library.
