!!This book exhibits the following tropes:
----
* DisappearedDad: Jessica's dad ran out on them shortly after Jessica was born.
* EvilDetectingDog: Mrs. Fortune's cats are afraid of Worm, and avoid Jessica after Worm arrives. Then again, Mrs. Fortune points out that they're old cats who have trouble dealing with new things like kittens.
* {{Familiar}}: Worm is implied to be a Witch's familiar. He may or may not be Jessica's.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's unclear as to whether Worm was indeed a witch's familiar, or if Jessica is essentially talking herself into her belief in witches.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: Jessica attempts this to get out of trouble a few times, feigning an AmbiguousDisorder. She quickly learns that doing this gets people talking about institutions and special tutors rather than excusing one's actions.
