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, pernickety 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.

Reviews for K Is in Trouble (A Graphic Novel)

"""In each of five graphic short stories, Clement presents a situation of powerlessness, oppression, or ennui in which K encounters a small moment of grace...a sympathetic and respectful portrait of the condition of being a child, a condition as familiar now as then.""--The Horn Book ""K is my new favorite hero, and my new favorite letter of the alphabet. If you like this book, then you are a wonderful person, and if you don't, then something is wrong with you.""--Lemony Snicket"
