Fig Wheatley is a fifth-grade foodie with a big problem- the lunches that her parents pack for her are too delicious. Day after day she eats a big, fancy lunch, while her classmates eat PB&J or ham and cheese sandwiches. The only thing she craves is to fit in. In Fig Wheatley and the Circle of Lunch, Fig and her friends cook up a scheme to get rid of the lunches, eat the evidence, and get famous in the process. On their adventure, Fig untangles the complicated relationship between food, family, and friendship and learns what it means to love herself- the good, the bad, and the gourmet.
