Here in the Real World / Sara Pennypacker

Ware is a kind and creative kid who just wants to be left alone to read and learn and follow the code of the knights of times long ago.  Unfortunately, he’s an introvert in a family of extroverts who just don’t see things the way he does.  When an accident in his family throws his mellow, introspective summer way off course, Ware has to do the unthinkable—attend the local recreation center every day.  There’s a crumbling old church next door, though, and the temptation to explore becomes too much for Ware to ignore.  Follow Ware on a journey to find a special place, figure out a strange new friend, and show everyone that there’s more to him than meets the eye.   Ages 8 and up.
