K just keeps getting in trouble!
Trouble finds him when a mischievous goat eats his train ticket home. Trouble finds him when he’s stowed away in a barrel of apples, hiding from angry farmers. Trouble finds him as he dangles from a ridiculously high diving board in front of the entire town. Trouble even finds him through a very talkative snowman, whose chatter gets K into even more trouble.
But it’s not all bad news for K: The stories in this graphic novel find him reunited with an old friend, taking a restorative trip to the sea, and making the acquaintance of a young farm girl! Join K as he tries (and fails) to stay out of trouble in this new set of adventures from Gary Clement.

Praise for K Is in Trouble:
A Kids’ Indie Next Pick -
"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
-
“Even the happiest boys and girls know what it is to be buffeted about by adults…. The universality of this experience, which, depending on the adult caprice, can feel like the most acute injustice, gives resonance to K Is in Trouble."The Wall Street Journal
-
"Visual storytelling at its finest."The New York Times Book Review
-
*"Clement’s debut graphic novel makes a good case that this age group could find great relevance, at least, in those things we’ve come to call 'Kafkaesque'.... A truly unique effort that will become a deeply resonant touchstone for anyone who recognizes in it the occasional strangeness of their world."Booklist, starred review
-
*“That Clement never bows to the demands of feel-goodery – or explains away the endless absurdities K must face – is one of the most pleasing, and paradoxically realistic aspects of these weird, wonderful tales.”Quill and Quire, starred review
-
“Odd mishaps and hostile grown-ups plague a lonely child in this set of surreal episodes…channeling the spirit of Franz Kafka in the plot and the gothic sensibility of Edward Gorey in the art.”Kirkus Reviews
-
“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 indeed in trouble—in more ways than one—in this quirky, subversive graphic novel.”BCCB
