History Series / Ghostwriter2019

* MistakenForThief: While helping Charli's father unload a truck, a passing stranger assumes she's stealing and calls the police, until Charli and her father return to set her straight. The incident leaves Nia rattled for the rest of the season.

* RedHerring: In Season 3, the kids initially suspect Professor Todd McCormick of being behind the Eloquent Peasant theft, because he'd been vocally opposed to Nia's mother being named University president, having wanted the job for himself. This gives him a motive to create a scandal around her, [[spoiler: but it turns out that he had nothing to do with it.]]

* TeensAreShort: College-aged Sydney Allen is barely the same height as her preteen sister Charli, even appearing ''shorter'' in some shots.

Ruben and his mom, Amy, have moved to New York to help his grandfather Ernesto run the family bookstore after the death of his grandmother. Neighbor and middle school classmate Chevon is a frequent visitor to the bookstore and, to Ruben’s initial annoyance, was closer to Ernesto and his wife than they were to Ruben.

* TeensAreShort: College-aged Sydney Allen is barely the same height as her preteen sister Charli, even appearing ''shorter'' in some shots. TruthInTelevision: Girls tend to hit their full adult height at 14 or 15 years of age, so Sydney would have stopped growing at a certain point while Charli continued to do so.

* TeensAreShort: College-aged Sydney Allen is barely the same height as her preteen sister Charli, even appearing ''shorter'' in some shots. This is, odd as it may seem, a case of TruthInTelevision, since girls tend to hit their full adult height at around fourteen or fifteen years of age, meaning that Sydney would have stopped growing already while Charli continued to do so.

* AdultFear: Nia, a black teenager, almost gets the cops called on her in the Season 3 premiere when a passing jogger sees her helping unload Mr. Allen's truck and mistakes her for a thief. Situations like this can and have ended badly in RealLife. Thankfully, Mr. Allen comes out and clears it up before it escalates into anything more serious, though Nia continues to be affected by the event.

They reconcile at the end of "Ghost of Oz."]]

* TheBGrade: One of her classmates says that partnering with Chevon was like a guaranteed B. She retorts that she doesn't get Bs. [[spoiler:She is horrified when she gets a D- in the bad future in "Ghost Castaways".]]

* InMemoriam: "The Ghost, the Mouse, and the Motorcycle" is dedicated to the memory of Creator/BeverlyCleary, who wrote [[Literature/RalphSMouse the books]] the episodes are based on.

** At the end of "The Ghost Peasant of the Bayou", the children similarly describe their reverse-heist plan to sneak the Eloquent Peasant onto the yacht Adrian. Naturally, as the plan is seen, things don't go exactly as planned.
