HERE IN THE REAL WORLD - SARA PENNYPACKER KARTO...

From the author of the highly acclaimed  New York Times bestselling novel Pax comes a gorgeous
and moving middle grade novel that is an ode to introverts  dreamers  and misfits everywhere.
Ware can't wait to spend summer off in his own world-dreaming of knights in the Middle Ages and
generally being left alone. But then his parents sign him up for dreaded Rec camp  where he
must endure Meaningful Social Interaction and whatever activities so-called normal kids do. On
his first day Ware meets Jolene  a tough  secretive girl planting a garden in the rubble of an
abandoned church next to the camp. Soon he starts skipping Rec  creating a castle-like space of
his own in the church lot. Jolene scoffs  calling him a dreamer-he doesn't live in the real
world like she does. As different as Ware and Jolene are  though  they have one thing in
common: for them  the lot is a refuge. But when their sanctuary is threatened  Ware looks to
the knights' Code of Chivalry: Thou shalt do battle against unfairness wherever faced with it.
Thou shalt be always the champion of the Right and Good-and vows to save the lot. But what does
a hero look like in real life? And what can two misfit kids do?
