K Is in Trouble (K Is in Trouble #1)
by Gary ClementA 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.

Ambitious Rei works in finance in London; Kiki is the single mother of a young son, working in a retirement home in Tokyo; and Ai, the youngest, is a peripatetic Japanese music idol.

by Cecily WongA dazzling and heartfelt novel about two sisters caught in their parents&’ ambition, the accident that brings it all crashing down, and the journey that follows. Everybody&’s heard of The Brightons. From rags to riches, sleepy Oregon to haute New York, they are the biracial Chinese American family that built Kaleidoscope, a glittering, &‘global bohemian&’ shopping empire sourcing luxury goods from around the world. Statuesque, design savant, and family pet—eldest daughter Morgan Brighton is most celebrated of all. Yet despite her favored status, both within the family and in the press, nobody loves her more than Riley. Smart and nervy Riley Brighton — whose existence is forever eclipsed by her older sister&’s presence. When a catastrophic event dismantles the Brightons&’ world, it is Riley who&’s left with questions about her family that challenge her memory, identity, and loyalty.

It reveals, too, the different kinds of love left to grow when tightly held stories are finally let go. At turns devastating and funny, warm and wise, sexy and transportive, Riley&’s journey confronts the meaning of freedom and travel, youth and innocence, and what it looks like to belong, grieve, and love on one&’s own terms.
