More About the Book
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.
