* OedipusComplex: Hook mentions several times how beautiful the Professor is despite the fact she's old enough to be his mother and even offers her the chance to join him in ruling the world. He does lampshade it in his inner monologue that he's got issues with his own mother that are causing this to manifest itself.

* TheEvilPrincess: Katt is the younger sister of the Queen of England and desperately wants to usurp her sister as ruler of Northumberland, to the point of collaborating with the Bloodred Queen and stirring up civil war within Alnwick Castle.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Zig-zagged. [[spoiler: Pyro]] is mentioned quite frequently by Pickpocket after he dies, despite only being in the first book for a short period of time, and other Lost Boys who have perished sometimes get mentioned, but other characters like [[spoiler: Bella, Joanna, and Mikey]] die without so much as a mention afterwards from anyone.
* GenderFlip: Joanna is the counterpart of John in Peter Pan, the gender flip in this case being necessary due to the fact that the way the virus works wouldn't make the plot work if the character remained male.



* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted with Alyssa and Maddox. She primarily uses a sword while he uses a gun to fight.



* IgnoredEpiphany: Katt reflects on her actions, especially accidentally killing [[spoiler: Gabs]] and realizing she's become a monster, but at the end of thinking it over she decides she's too far gone and her actions were all worth it to get what she wants.



* RocksFallEveryoneDies: Essentially what ''Ozland'' feels like after [[spoiler: 95% of the main characters are massacred by Katt, including almost all of the Lost Boys and all the residents of Evergreen.]]



** There is also a big to-do in the second book about keeping the Queen of England alive, who is so sick she remains in a coma the entire book, since she is the rightful ruler and the only one who can really run England instead of letting the despot Kat ruler. It's revealed very casually in the third book that she was too sick for the cure to work on her and she dies in her sleep shortly after the gang arrives in Germany, rendering everything Pete and the others did to keep her alive all for nothing.



* WickedStepmother: Katherina towards Jack. As abusive as she was towards her biological son, her treatment of Jack was even ''worse''.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Pete towards the Lost Boys, Dozer towards Mole since he's his actual older brother, and in a most twisted way, Hook towards Jack when he's not being a BigBrotherBully.



* BlackDudeDiesFirst: [[spoiler: Pyro]] is stated to have dark skin and is the first of the named Lost Boys to die.



* BusCrash: Mole and Dozer are revealed to have died sometime between the events of ''Everland'' and ''Umberland''.

to:

* BusCrash: [[spoiler: Mole and Dozer Dozer]] are revealed to have died sometime between the events of ''Everland'' and ''Umberland''.



* CompositeCharacter: In ''Umberland'', the White Rabbit character turns out to be [[spoiler: Colonel George Darling.]]
** In ''Ozland'', the Bloodred Queen also takes on the roles of the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz and the Evil Queen from Snow White.



* DecompositeCharacter: Bella tends to be a straight-up analogy to Tinkerbell most of the time but Jack takes on her usual role of being the character that willingly leads Hook to the hideout of the Lost Boys.
** In a more meta sense, Captain Hook is usually portrayed by the same actor that plays George Darling, to signify that the children are playing make-believe and using the familiar to represent their fantasies. In the books, they're two separate characters, with Hook being a young teenager and George being a colonel in Her Majesty's royal army.



* DisabilitySuperpower: Mole is a twelve year old Lost Boy who is blind but has a sense of smell so keen he's practically a bloodhound.



* TheLostLenore: Gabrielle for both Pete and Doc, in a familial sense for Pete and a romantic one for Doc.



* MeaningfulName: Invoked. Most of the Lost Boys take on a new name that reflects their personality or the primary thing they are good at.



* RavenHairIvorySkin: Katherina and Katt.

to:

* RavenHairIvorySkin: Katherina and Katt. Hook and Jack also seem to have the same look to them for a male version.


Added DiffLines:

* ShootTheShaggyDogStory: Gwen fights tooth and nail to protect her siblings Joanna and Mikey while Pete will do just about anything to save his adoptive little sister Bella. [[spoiler: All three are dead within the first thirty pages of ''Ozland'', rendering all the efforts of Gwen and Pete completely moot.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheStoner: Maddox tends to fall into this behavior from time to time, mostly in recounted past incidents since the characters really don't have time for such frivolity in the present.

* HeadbuttingHeroes: This sums up Pete and Doc's relationship. Pete holds a grudge against Doc for failing to prevent his sister's passing from the Horologia virus and the two prefer to stay away from each other during their time in the Lost City. Their scorn for each other only escalates after Doc's supposed "cure" for the virus mutates, leaving nearly all of their allies, particularly Bella, in an even worse state than before, which Pete holds Doc responsible for. Their contempt escalates into physical spats between the two at times.
