2* At the climax, it seems like TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot by [[spoiler: not making it that the IT torments Meg with images of Veronica saying "[[IShallTauntYou Hi Meg]]". But then again, Meg had already witnessed that Veronica wasn't really mean so much as she was insecure. So instead of goading her, it decided to tempt her (with the offer of a whole new version of her).]]
3* On Camazotz, Charles Wallace says his food tastes like sand. What is the food in question he is eating? [[StealthPun Sand]]wiches.
4* Fridge-Heartwarming: At one point, during the flight upon changed!Mrs. Whatsit, Calvin reaches up and gently touches Mrs. Which's face, who is deeply moved. This is [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolic]] for two reasons. First, it represents that the children accept Mrs. Which for who she is, no matter what size she takes. Second, it symbolizes that they don't 'tear her down' for being [[StealthPun above it all]] or figuratively [[StealthPun being the bigger person]].
5** In turn, later on, she meets down to their level so it's easier for them to relate to.
6* Uriel was changed from a pretty generic paradise world, with pegasi and stuff like that, to a planet where all the life we see is some sort of plant. This actually makes Uriel far ''more'' of a paradise. Because a planet where every single form of life is a plant, on a planet in orbit around a bright and energetic sun, is a planet without a real food chain. It's a paradise for ''everything'' living there, because nothing is at risk of being eaten, and all anything needs to survive is the sunlight.

10* It is possible the reason Veronica is so insecure is because her instructions to keep her weight down by eating very restricted foods is not her own idea. It may be coming from a parent. It may even be doctor's orders due to having a medical condition (such as a metabolic disorder) that requires her to keep her weight down in order to prevent major problems. Hence her feeling so nervous and insecure- and taking it out on Meg, who seems to be a late bloomer and unconcerned about her appearance.
