!!This book provides examples of:
* AlwaysSecondBest: Rachel seems to feel this way, as she is always being told to act more like Jackson, which she resents.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Rachel, who is always making fun of Jackson for being a goody two shoes and trying to put things on him.
* ChekhovsGun: Jackson likes playing a game on his phone, and it is later discovered that the chirp that comes from the game is what Slappy uses to control him.
* CoolTeacher: Mrs. Hathaway, who is well liked by the kids due to being pretty with good fashion sense.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover makes it seem like the title will be literal, with Slappy somehow having an offspring. Instead, [[spoiler: the '"son" is the protagonist, who is being controlled by Slappy.]]
* DownerEnding: Jackson is [[spoiler: unable to defeat Slappy and he gets banned from the Youth Center he works for. And then he finds out his sister was working for Slappy the whole time and the book ends with Slappy taking control over him again.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Rachel calls Jackson "Robot" due to how perfect he seemingly is.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Slappy now has the power to control people with the sound of a chirp.
* ParentalFavoritism: Unlike most examples in the franchise, this book the ''protagonist'' be the favorite while his sister is generally dumped on by the parents.
* RevengeOfTheSequel: The title ''Son of Slappy'', which again isn't numbered.
* SavingTheOrphanage: The protagonist works for a Youth Center which is on the verge of shutting down and he has to help raise money for it. [[spoiler: The show he was going to put on for it goes wrong and we never find out if they managed to raise the money.]]
* ShoutOut: The game Chirping Chickens is a clear parody of ''VideoGame/AngryBirds''.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: This is the first Slappy book since ''Slappy's Nightmare'' to do something different with the formula. In this case it's the fact that it's about Slappy controlling someone instead of doing the bad deeds himself.
* TriggerPhrase: Slappy's mind control turns out to be activated by a chirp sound. At first it seems to be only the chirp from a game, but it turns out any chirp will do.
