* AdultFear: Your child routinely goes on adventures that have a significantly high risk of them winding up dead, maimed or worse, and most of the time you don't know about it until afterwards and couldn't do anything to help if you tried.

Added DiffLines:

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bruce decides to ping up Ms Richards, the librarian, when the group needs help. Unfortunately, they're millions of years in the past at the time, and he just used up the magic that could have been used to get them home.
** In the same book, Pru suggests that they just need to wait until Phredde and Bruce's parents give them their magic allowances, and then they can go home. Phredde and Bruce then point out that since they're in the past, their parents can't give them their magic, and they'd also have no way of knowing that their kids are missing and wouldn't know where to look for them anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* InsistentTerminology: It's 'phaery', not 'fairy'.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Prince Narmer had over a hundred fifty siblings. ''Had''. By the time of ''Phredde and the Purple Pyramid'', he has two.
* SeenItAll: Pru is incredibly blasé, even when she's facing new threats.
* SeriousBusiness: Mrs Olson nearly has a breakdown at the thought of Pru having to get a tooth removed. Pru then realises that losing a tooth is probably a lot worse when you're a vampire.
* SpaceWhaleAesop: A rather good (and surprisingly valid) one from ''Prudence and the Tooth Phaery'': "If anyone ever appears in your bedroom at two in the morning and claims to be the Tooth Phaery, take a very close look at his or her credentials."
