* DeathByNewberyMedal: ''Ramona Quimby, Age 8'' and ''Ramona and Her Father'' avert this trope. Despite each novel winning a [[UsefulNotes/NewberyMedal Newbery Honor]], neither book has anyone die. In ''Ramona Forever'' [[spoiler: the family cat Picky Picky dies of old age]], but this trope is downplayed: the loss itself adds less to Ramona's character development than her sisterly bonding with Beezus does as [[spoiler: they bury him together]] and resolve an earlier misunderstanding.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ramona dislikes Susan for always being perfect and yet doing stuff like copying her schoolwork. Her anger doesn't lie in jealousy about Susan, but about how Susan isn't perfect and yet everyone claims that she is. The thing is that Ramona keeps growing up and maturing through the books, while Susan remains the same. Thus, when Ramona turns ten and Susan at Ramona's birthday party is unintentionally rude, the other kids call her out for it.

** In ''Ramona and Her Mother'', Beezus wants to get her hair cut at a beauty shop like her friends do, thinking she'll look prettier and more glamorous that way. Unfortunately, when she finally gets her wish, it's at a beauty ''school'' (the only affordable choice), the amateur hairstylist who does the job uses too much hairspray and makes her hair look like "a cheap wig," and when she washes the spray out to reveal what the actual haircut looks like, it's barely different than what her mother always gave her before.
