Misfortune hilariously abounds in this graphic novel about the life of one persistently unlucky kid named K—who is, once again, very, very much in trouble!
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.

“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
