* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The later parts of the book that take place on the moon have this in '''spades''' - people seem perfectly able to ''breathe'' on the moon, a difference in gravity is ''never even mentioned'', sound travels normally, etc. Of course, [[MST3KMantra none of this is really meant to be taken seriously]] - the character interactions take centre stage, not the science.

Added DiffLines:
''Zorgamazoo'' is a full-length novel written [[VerseNovel entirely in rhyming couplets]].
[--(We'll give you a second to process that.)--]
Okay, we're back. The novel was written by Robert Paul Weston, a Canadian author (who has also lived in England and Japan) who got the idea when looking up song lyrics on the internet.
'''From the official site''':
''Zorgamazoo'' tells the rhyming, rhythmical tale of [[PluckyGirl Katrina]], a girl with a big heart and an even bigger imagination.
Too bad [[AbusiveParents Old Krabby]] will have none of it! She thinks Katrina is losing her marbles—and worse, she hires the quack neurosurgeon, [[MadDoctor Doctor LeFang]], to make a midnight housecall! But there’s nothing wrong with Katrina’s noggin. In fact, she’s perfectly sane.
The strange figure Katrina spotted, bumbling through the subway tunnels beneath the city, is [[ActionSurvivor Morty the zorgle]]. He’s been sent on a [[TheQuest quest to find the lost zorgles of Zorgamazoo]]...
When [[OddFriendship Katrina and Morty join forces]], however, they discover it’s not just the zorgles who have gone missing. [[AlienAbduction Someone—or something—has kidnapped all of the Earth’s most magical creatures]]!
It isn’t long before Katrina and Morty uncover a bizarre, [[TheConspiracy intergalactic conspiracy]] that threatens the existence of every last griffin, ogre, sphinx, dragon, mermaid, pixie and zorgle on the planet!
----
!! ''Zorgamazoo'' contains examples of:
* AdultsAreUseless: ...at least when they're ''human'' adults.
* AlliterativeName
* AllThereInTheManual: MadDoctor [=LeFang=]'s first name is 'Reginald'. This is never mentioned in the book - it's in his [[http://www.zorgamazoo.com/book_characters.asp character bio]] on the official site.
* {{Calvinball}}: 'Zorgally Ball', a repeatedly-mentioned sport that is said to be a combination of '[[NoodleImplements cricket, swimming and chess]]'. Hilariously enough, the vague descriptions of actual ''gameplay'' make it sound like [[CallARabbitASmeerp ordinary baseball]].
* BeneathTheEarth: Where most of the zorgles live.
* ChekhovsGun: Several of them, strangely enough.
* DeadlyDoctor: Dr. [=LeFang=]
* {{Determinator}}: Katrina
* FemaleMonsterSurprise: Winnie, whose gender is discovered when Katrina realizes she's wearing [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics ribbons and bows in her fur]].
* FingerlessGloves: Referenced in the actual text as Mortimer Yorgle's handwear of choice.
* FriendshipMoment
* HerrDoctor: In the audio readings by the author, Dr. [=LeFang=] is given a vaguely German sounding accent (though it falls more into "[[ButNotTooForeign generically European]]")
* HiddenSupplies: Katrina keeps odds and ends she finds and hides them in a box (later her backpack) until they become useful. [[spoiler:They're apparently useful enough to ''reverse alien technology''.]]
* [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon Impossibly Cool Surgical Impliment]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The Ogre.
* KnifeNut: Selena the Slash, one of the members of the [[TeamRocket Gang of McCrook]].
* NecessarilyEvil: Dullbert. [[IDidWhatIHadToDo He's only doing what he's doing to save his planet]].
* MechanicalMonster: The Octomabots are a combination of this and CoolShip.
* MeaningfulName: Quite a few of them. By extention, there are a lot of NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast (though some of these are justified by being the names of gang members).
* MelancholyMoon: An odd reversal of the trope, as the melancholy gazing up at the night sky happens while ''on'' the moon (which technically makes it a "Melancholy ''Earth''" instead).
* [[spoiler:PeopleZoo]]: A variation of this is the fate that befell most of the world's magical creatures.
* RubberForeheadAlien: The Graylians are basically just midget-sized, monochromatic humans.
* RummageSaleReject: Morty is referred to as having an outfit of this type, complete with multicolored pants!
* SinisterSubway
* SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay: The later parts of the book that take place on the moon have this in '''spades''' - people seem perfectly able to ''breathe'' on the moon, a difference in gravity is ''never even mentioned'', sound travels normally, etc. Of course, [[MST3KMantra none of this is really meant to be taken seriously]] - the character interactions take centre stage, not the science.
* SublimeRhyme: [[CaptainObvious Do we really need to say why?]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: [[EmotionlessGirl Dullbert]], who sometimes tilts more into ShrinkingViolet territory.
* TerribleTrio: The Gang of [=McCrook=]
* {{Unobtanium}}: 'Tedium Steam', a fuel made of ''pure boredom''. [[spoiler:As well as its colorful counterpart, 'Enchantium Gas'.]]
* UnluckyEverydude: Mortimer Yorgle fits this trope quite well...he just happens to be a ground-dwelling furry monster.
