K Is in Trouble (A Graphic Novel)

Read a sample Read a sample
A boy named K must navigate a world of outrageously unkind adults in this hysterical, Kafkaesque middle grade graphic novel, with art reminiscent of James Marshall. 
K is nice, polite, and always does as he’s told. K is also always, always in trouble. 
No matter what he does or says, it seems there is someone ready to blame him for everything. K is in trouble for going to school. K is in trouble for staying home. K is in trouble for running an errand, getting sick, or just being thirsty. K gets into trouble with imperious crows, persnickety station agents, bombastic teachers, his own classmates ... even one nice fresh carp. 
Whether it’s his easily annoyed parents or prickly pedestrians on the street, K gets on everyone’s bad side ... and he didn’t even do anything wrong!   
Gary Clement takes a unique approach to the absurdities of childhood in this hilarious series opener that reinforces a timeless message: Most adults know less than a talking beetle.
