History Literature / TheNaughtiestGirl

* FirstDayOfSchoolEpisode: Book One has Elizabeth (who has previous been taught by governesses) going to school for the first time, as her governess has resigned because she cannot cope with Elizabeth's bad behaviour. Also, Elixabeth's parents are about to go away for a year and cannot find a replacement governess on such short notice. Though Elizabeth is at first determined to hate school on principle (because she can no longer do what she likes when she likes and has to learn to get along with other children) she soon finds that it isn't all that bad.

* FirstDayOfSchoolEpisode: Book One is this for Elizabeth.

* AdultFear: Despite being a largely humorous kids book, there are a few notable examples involving this:

* FirstDayOfSchool: Book One is this for Elizabeth.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Elizabeth and Joan. Arabella and Rosemary. Eventually Jenny and Kathleen.

*

* JerkassHasAPoint: In-universe in the last of the reboot books. Elizabeth and Joan are the two monitors of the second form and one of the boys leaves Elizabeth anonymous notes along the lines of “You suck, Elizabeth, plus there should be a boy monitor and a girl monitor, not two girl monitors, so you should resign.” It’s acknowledged that while the note-writer was being an asshole and had a completely selfish motive, he was right that a boy monitor is needed in order to keep an eye on the boys’ dorms and have guy-to-guy talks with the boys in the form. [[Eventually Joan agrees to step down so that a boy can take her place.]]

* GreenEyes: Often noted with Julian, highlighting his energetic sense of fun.

* BeautifulAllAlong: Apparently, everything Kathleen needed in order to become beautiful was to smile a little more, although she looks even better once she stops eating sweets and loses her spots.

* BoardingSchool: Obviously.
* BrilliantButLazy: Julian.

* DeadpanSnarker: Jenny.

* BritishAccent: Again, obviously.

* TurnInYourBadge: In the third book, Elizabeth is stripped of her position as a school monitor, partly because she wrongly accused Julian of stealing, partly because she has been in trouble for acting up in class. However, the accusation of theft was an honest mistake on her part and Julian later admits to playing pranks on Elizabeth to make it look as though she was misbehaving. Elizabeth is reinstated at the end of the book as a reward for saving a child from drowning.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale: Subverted and lampshaded. At one point, Elizabeth slaps Harry, and Nora tells her to apologize because Harry can't slap her back given that she [Elizabeth] is a girl. Also, Elizabeth gets her hair pulled by a boy on her first night for not going to bed, and then he threatens her.

** ''The Naughtiest Girl In The School'': Because Joan doesn't tell her parents that she feels ignored, they don't notice it. And because Joan's parents don't tell them that [[spoiler: they're still mourning her twin brother's death]], she can't understand why they're upset.
** ''The Naughtiest girl is a Monitor'': Elizabeth had a good reason for thinking that Julian was a thief. If they had talked about it instead of yelling at each other, Elizabeth wouldn't have had to quit being a monitor.
