* AcronymsAreEasyAsAybeecee: The acronyms for friend groups (see FunWithAcronyms below) are meant to be pronounced as a single word. For example, the friend group of Frankie, Robin, and Abby is FRA, which rhymes with "draw" but with an F instead of a D.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: In ''Good As Gold'', Abby and Jonah sled down a snowy mountainside riding an upside-down skateboard, which is unrealistic on so many levels.
** According to Abby, the skateboard was going at 200 miles per hour. Even in professional bobsledding or luge events, speeds rarely exceed 90 miles per hour. Sledding at 200 miles per hour is not only extremely dangerous but almost impossible, especially with a skateboard not even designed for snow transportation to begin with. However, Abby may have exaggerated about this because she is a notorious UnreliableNarrator. Still, she did want to get the point across that the skateboard was ''fast.''

** Skateboards are designed for smooth surfaces and do not have the necessary features to navigate snowy terrain. And since the skateboard is used upside down, the curved ends point downward instead of up. This would increase drag because the entire surface of the skateboard doesn't firmly touch the ground.

* BloodlessCarnage: Slightly [[DownplayedTrope downplayed.]] During the climax of ''Fairest Of All'', [[spoiler: Evil Evelyn shoots an arrow at Prince Trevor, which lodges itself in his chest. When Prince Trevor falls into the moat and Snow tries to carry her, the narration describes his condition as simply "The bleeding Prince Trevor". However, when Trevor is hauled to dry land and has the arrow dislodged from his chest, the narration doesn't explicitly describe a puncture wound, let alone any blood. It simply describes how he's not breathing and his eyes are closed.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: At the start of ''Abby in Wonderland'', Frankie teaches Abby how to feign lip-syncing by repeatedly mouthing the word "watermelon". Near the end of the book, Abby [[ItMakesSenseInContext encounters a jar of baby powder]] and notes that it smells like watermelon. This is a subtle reference to Frankie's LameRhymeDodge technique briefly mentioned at the start of the book.

* CassandraTruth: Near the end of ''Cold As Ice'', Abby and Jonah [[spoiler: tell their parents the truth about where they have been at night. Their parents obviously don't believe their claims of travelling in fairy tale dimensions. That is, not until Abby and Jonah prove it by showing the MagicMirror.]]



* MeaningfulEcho: In ''If The Shoe Fits'', this is how the book describes Kayla when Abby first sees her:
->Her hair isn't straight and it's not curly. It's more zig-zaggy. A little frizzy. And it's not blond. Or brunette. It's in the middle. And her eyes aren't blue or green or sparkly. They're small. And her lips are kind of thin.\\

* A full ''twelve chapters'' later, Abby encounters her again and reuses the almost exact same description, nearly word-by-word. This description echo is to emphasize on Kayla's appearance and is how Abby recognizes her.

->Her hair isn't blond or brunette. It's in the middle. And frizzy. Her eyes aren't blue or green or sparkly or really big. They're average. And her lips are kind of thin.
