Ratatouille meets the magic of Studio Ghibli as a lonely raccoon who secretly lives inside a fine French restaurant and yearns to be a chef must venture into the woods for the first time to help a baby crow find its home.
A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The Night Chef has never had a family—only a dream.
She’s spent years living inside the walls of a human restaurant, honing her cooking skills. She knows she can fry an omelette with the best of them– but she also knows that humans will never accept her. And so she keeps to herself, hidden and alone.
Then, one evening, when Night Chef cracks an egg open for her dinner, a baby crow named Ichi falls out! Despite being reluctant to leave her home, Night Chef steps into the wilds in order to reunite Ichi with his family. And along the journey, she might just find a family to call her own, too.
