* EnfanteTerrible: [[spoiler: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in "The Mystery of the Mice that Roared." A brand-new restaurant opens in Boston, but increasingly-dangerous pranks plague the customers, including someone placing mice on a serving tray and spiking the food with chili powder. The culprit turns out to be the preteen daughter of the restaurant's owners, who has felt neglected since [[WhenYouComingHomeDad they're constantly working and have no time for her.]] It's clear that the girl isn't evil, just immature, lonely, and acting out the only way she knows how, which explains why both her parents and the cops [[EasilyForgiven quickly forgive her.]]]]

* EvilGloating: In "Mystery in the Wilderness," the thief is about to get away with stealing a valuable computer chip and trapping Shelby, Noah, and Cindi in ropes, but stops to gloat and [[IShallTauntYou taunt]] the kids, mockingly suggesting that Noah's survival guide could help. He promptly clocks the crook in the head with the guide, knocking them out and saving the day.
Added DiffLines:
* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: In "The Big Cheese Mystery," a criminal dresses up as Cheese Louise, a popular kid's show character, to rob banks. Shelby solves the crime [[spoiler: when she notices that the Cheese Louise crook is wearing green gloves--the actual character always wore red ones. That knowledge helps her realize that the guilty suspect is a red-green colorblind woman who's been making mistakes based on red and green hues throughout the case.]]
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: In "Mystery in the Wilderness," a thief plants a stolen computer chip in Noah's bag before he, Shelby, and Cindi go out camping, then retrieves it later in the trip, after the girls insist that Noah get rid of some of the [[CrazyPrepared many, MANY items]] he insisted on bringing. [[spoiler: The crook gives herself away when she comments on a stain remover that was originally in the bag; that remover was the only thing Noah threw out, meaning that only someone who had looked inside the pack ''before'' he changed its contents could have known about it.]]

* {{Foil}}: Both members of Shelby's two trios foil their same-gender counterparts. Cindy is a [[JumpedAtTheCall Jumps at Shelby's call type]] (and in one of the books, is implied to have been drawn to Shelby's unusual nature right away, though then it was Shelby being exotic rather than eccentric) who tends to make less than sensible decisions; Angie is initially thrown horribly by Shelby's ways and is prone to pointing out when a decision isn't well thought through (though [[NotSoAboveItAll she has her moments]]). Noah is a SourSupporter who hates getting involved in the plot while Vince is immediately drawn into Shelby's mystery-seeking ways and remains as such; Vince also has a fair amount of ShipTease with Shelby while Noah's relationship with her [[HeterosexualLifePartners is strictly platonic]].
