Reach for this book when your child feels like the world of adults, school rules, and social expectations is a series of confusing, arbitrary hurdles. K Is in Trouble is a surrealist graphic novel that validates the inner life of a child who feels small and misunderstood in an absurd world. Through the eyes of K, a quiet boy navigating everything from detention to talking fish, the story explores themes of anxiety, the pressure to conform, and the resilience found in a rich imagination. It is a highly empathetic choice for children aged 8 to 12 who may feel out of sync with their peers or the systems around them. By presenting the mundane frustrations of childhood as strange and slightly Kafkaesque adventures, the book provides a safe space for children to laugh at their own worries and feel seen in their daily struggles.
