* SameCharacterButDifferent: It could be because of who the focus characters are, but several characters come off very differently. Nate is shown to be very childish and distractable in the main series, but here fills a similar role to Dink, while the twins are more focused and less selfish. The main trio. on the other hand, come off as very callous and even demonstrate a BigBrotherBully mentality in the pranks they do in the first book, which legitimately scare the younger kids.
