The Children's Menu

Circletown is a strange place, and everyone knows it. People often get lost on well—traveled roads and familiar streets. Maps are useless. Henry is a kid at Circletown Elementary School. Henry is a little strange. He only eats a few things, like milk and white bread. His life changes when his dad suddenly leaves. Henry's mom, Dr. Berniece Baker, needs to work, and gets Henry a babysitter. But Corey Turnbridge is not just any babysitter. She's a top athlete and she fascinates Henry. Henry tags along to her side job at Jet Café. There, with Maru—sensei, owner of the restaurant, they make The Children's Menu. Henry is about to learn a lot about people…and himself.
