Ware soon discovers that the lot next to the rec center contains the remnants of an abandoned church. He wants to be the ‘normal’ kid he thinks his parents desire. He is desperate for his parents to give him some independence. To an introvert like Ware-often described as distant and in his own world-this is the worst idea ever. This way, she will know he is safe and that he is having some social interactions with peers. With his parents working double-shifts to save enough money to buy the home they have rented for years, his mother insists that he attend the rec center summer camp. Ware’s plans to stay with his grandma for the summer come to an abrupt end when a bad fall lands her in the hospital. Idealism and realism beautifully collide, making it an excellent choice for readers of books like Kate Dicamillo’s Because of Winn-Dixie and Katherine Paterson’s Bridge to Terabithia.
