11	!!Tropes:
12
13	* BalladOfX: While lost in the woods, Principal Barkin makes up a song called "The Ballad of the Wandering Principal".
14	* BrainsVersusBrawn: Written in the book's synopsis. Josh and his friends are bigger and stronger, as they are all in the same boot camp. Being 5'1 and 4'9 respectively, Miles and Niles must rely on their wits and imagination to prank them.
15	* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Mudflap and Splinters play this role for Josh Barkin.
16	* DerailedTrainOfThought:
17	--> Josh’s mom always said Josh was the kind of kid who “would rather eat his dessert first.” But what was the dessert here? Stealing a bunch of gold, or beating up a couple of nimbuses? They were both dessert! And you know what, Josh’s mom was wrong. He wouldn’t rather eat his dessert first. He’d rather eat his dessert first and last. Otherwise you’re just eating something gross like carrots at the end of the night, when you should be eating dessert. In fact, why eat carrots at all? Why not just eat all dessert? And that was the great thing about the options that lay before him: They were all dessert!
18	* FantasyForbiddingFather: Bertrand Barkin donates all of his son's fantasy books to a rival school and admonishes him for reading the comics section of the newspaper.
19	* FirstNameBasis: Principal Barkin says that because they aren't in school anymore, Niles can call him Barry. Miles, however, is not allowed this privilege.
20	* FunWithAcronyms: To a pathological degree. Notable examples include PLOP (L and O stand for the same word), NIMBUS, RETCON, and NOMBUS.
21	* PantsPullingPrank: [[spoiler: Once again, a Barkin is pantsed. This time it's Josh.]]
22	* PrankGoneTooFar: [[spoiler: Josh tries to force Niles to eat rocks and, when that plan fails, shaves off half of his hair.]]
