This book provides examples of:
* ChekhovsSkill: Teresa is good at telling stories, Baz/Bors is an amateur drummer, Joshua is... just a bit kleptomaniac.
* DoorStopper: While not as hefty as some other books, it still clocks in at a perfectly respectable 640 pages.
* DreamLand: Umaya.
* DidMomJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu?
* DubNameChange: Bors becomes Baz, Joshua Tak becomes Joshua Cope, Giphart becomes Gippart, and so on.
* BritainIsOnlyLondon: And in the original Dutch book, ''The Netherlands is only Amsterdam''.
* HalfIdenticalTwins
* RealityWarper: somewhat justified - they're in DreamLand. Joshua can change things by looking at them. Teresa also qualifies - she can change things by telling stories. These example are not a GameBreaker because 1) these powers are limited: Joshua and Teresa can't do everything they want; 2) they're are initially [[HowDoIShotWeb unaware of their powers]].
* TimeMaster: Baz/Bors
* ThemeTwinNaming: Joshua and Jericho
* TheStoryteller: Teresa
* TimeTravel: but in DreamLand.
