REAL is a middle-grade novel inspired by Peyton’s lived experiences. It features perhaps the first nonspeaking autistic narrator in middle-grade fiction, Charity. At the beginning of the book, readers can hear Charity’s thoughts and immediately know that she is a clever and funny girl. Unfortunately, that’s not how the rest of the world sees her. With no voice and no dependable way to control her unpredictable body, she’s seen merely as a label and feels poisoned by the pity stares and whispers of people around her. She’s not seen as a REAL person, except by her family. Because she has been kicked out of public school, Charity is attending a special-needs school with an abusive teacher who bullies the kids instead of trying to teach them. When her mother finally learns the truth about this so-called school, she fights to get her daughter into a public junior high. That’s where the story really begins. Charity is thrilled at the chance to finally learn and be included. She’s also terrified of being made fun of and excluded again. Her own cousin Mason who attends the school seems embarrassed to be near her. To make matters worse, a bully preys on her as an easy target. With the help of newfound friends, she will have to fight for her right to a real education.
