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.

Jane They were wonderful characters and I feel that they added a great deal to the story. It is a story with soul and a passion for acknowledging the importance of being happy with who we are. Here in the Real World includes some wonderful themes like friendship, individuality, self-acceptance and imagination. This is a very heartwarming type of read.

Nur saidatul hidayah This was the book my heart needed. It's about embracing who you are, even if you are not what others want you to be or think you should be. It's for anyone who lives in their own head, who drifts, who is an artist (whether they know it yet or not). It's for everyone who has a rich imagination.
