Here in the Real World is a beautiful tale from Pax author Sara Pennypacker, perfectly encapsulating how a young introvert feels. Can Ware finally be the hero he dreams of becoming? It doesn't seem like they have much in common until their sanctuary is threatened. There, Ware meets the whipsmart, fiery Jolene, who has started tending the church's garden – but she's scornful of his daydreams, urging him to live in the real world. Uncomfortable around the other kids - and not sure how to engage in the Meaningful Social Interaction his parents are so keen on - he finds refuge in the abandoned church next door. Ware loves spending time in his own world, but when his grandmother has a fall, his parents bundle him off to the summer group he hates.
