* RashPromise: In ''Ever'', similar to the story of Jephthah, narrator Kezi's father vows to his god that if his wife survives her illness he will sacrifice the first person who congratulates him on her recovery. After the wife recovers, the family attempts to isolate themselves until the "statute of limitations" on vows runs out, but Kezi's aunt shows up unexpectedly. She is about to offer congratulations when Kezi, who knew about the vow, [[HeroicSacrifice does so instead]]. [[spoiler: Her father does end up keeping his vow.]]

* LiteralGenie: The "old lady" in ''The Wish''. Wilma wishes to be the most popular at her school, and the wish is granted. Eventually she realizes that this means the wish will end at her graduation from that school, less than a month away. (And therefore, that it would have been better to take the original wish offered to her: to be popular, period.)

* FeministFantasy: Levine's works are often these, particularly ''Ella Enchanted'' and ''The Two Princesses of Bamarre'', with female protagonists who go on adventures that test their resolve and wits against the backdrop of a fairy tale world where they're generally expected to sit back and be passive.
