Summary:
What can one voice do? As the first rumblings of the pandemic sound around Garvey, he hardly notices. Caught up with his fiends, school, chorus, and his newfound relationship with his father, he doesn't imagine that the new disease adults are talking about could touch him. But it will. When everything changes, when fear moves in, and when all seems dark, Garvey feels helpless. Yet one voice-- Garvey's voice--can be a powerful spark in the dark....
"Capturing the shock and reverberations of the COVID-19 pandemic through poetry, as Garvey's life goes into lockdown and his father becomes sick, Garvey must find a way to use his newfound musical skills to bring hope to both his father and himself"-- Provided by publisher.
