The Longest Whale Song has Ella almost drown when trying to swim underwater and not coming up for air early enough because a whale wouldn't need to, apparently not understanding that humans have a different lung capacity. Even when she hears that she nearly drowned, she feels confused because she was only underwater for a minute.

Floss is very close with her father, Charlie, so much so that her mother seems jealous at times of their bond. The fact that she chooses to stay with him instead of going to Australia with her mother is proof enough, although she makes it clear that his disorganized lifestyle and chip-related work leads to problems in Floss' school and social life throughout the book. Lethally Stupid: The Longest Whale Song features a scene where Ella tries to swim like a whale, and almost drowns because she doesn't realize humans have a different lung capacity, and doesn't come up for air when she needs to. Ella is implied to be at an age where this kind of misconception is likely. Ella's behaviour throughout the book is consistent with her age being the reason for many of her flawed actions.Last Disrespects: While not an intentional example, Clover in Clover Moon is deeply upset by the behaviour of the priest at Megs' funeral, who refers to her by her full name (which she never used, to the point where Clover is initially confused) and gives an eulogy that makes it clear he didn't know the first thing about her. Clover considers this very disrespectful and knows it's not at all what Megs would have wanted.

Jayni's mother in Lola Rose leaves her two young children alone while she works a bar job late at night, eventually leaving them for several days when she goes into hospital for an operation (although they are able to trace their estranged aunt, and get help.) Most on the time this isn't deliberate, though Jayni mentions that Nikki has often stayed out without warning, leaving her to look after her brother. Astral Projection - Important to the plot of The Other Side, although it's left open to the reader as to whether it's real or just in the heroine's imagination. And Now for Someone Completely Different - Diamond, the fourth in the Hetty Feather series, switches to the perspective of new protagonist Ellen Jane. Naked First Impression: Although Kitty and Lucy briefly meet early in the story, their true first meeting is just after a woman has stolen all the clothes Lucy was wearing. Kitty finds it amusing, but she's also sympathetic. In the Girls series, it is mentioned that Ellie's low self-esteem is partly due to her mother's death.Perry in The Primrose Railway Children sometimes comes across as younger than his little sister Phoebe in some of his behaviours, i.e, demanding to do things right away, repeating sentences over and over, having a meltdown if he gets overwhelmed or completely failing to grasp the danger of entering a tunnel while a train is coming through it. However much of this behaviour is consistent with him being on the autism spectrum and in other respects he can come across as quite mature for his age. Moral Guardians - Referenced In-Universe in Midnight, where Violet mentions that Casper Dream's first book ("The Smoke Fairy") was recalled because of concerns that it encouraged smoking in children. The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened.

Full-Name Basis - In My Mum Tracy Beaker, Jess constantly refers to Tracy's boyfriend by his full name, despite everyone telling her she can call him by just his first name. This is meant to show that she doesn't feel comfortable around him, despite not knowing why. A very interesting aversion in Clover Moon: On Clover's first night at the Home, the other girls pour water over her mattress. Clover changes the sheets in the middle of the night, but then becomes worried she might wet it, but doesn't. Handicapped Badass - Mary in Take a Good Look, a partially sighted teen who escapes armed robbers holding her hostage.Wilson's earlier novels were more prone to the Downer Ending; since she hit the big time with the first Tracy Beaker book, a Bittersweet Ending is more common.
