K is a nice boy, he seems to want to do the right thing, but adults don't see it that way, he gets punished at school, picked up for loitering in a train station when he was lost, and is even tricked into releasing a fish back into the river. K is always in trouble.
I had the same trouble enjoying this as I did Lemony Snicket's "Unfortunate Events" series. It's in the same vein - things just keep getting worse despite K's best efforts. His parents (especially his father) are short and impatient with him, and other adults are unreasonable. Poor kid. I didn't see the humor, maybe children will. There's a magical element - bugs and animals can talk to him. K is White.
