      About This Book

      An NPR Best Book of the Year

      "Visual storytelling at the highest level" —The New York Times Book Review

      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.
