YMMV / The Voyage of Alice

• Growing the Beard: Though not the first Alice book to see the light, it is definitely the one to codify the world-building and several major recurring characters, as well as really kick off the franchise's enormous popularity.
• It Was His Sled: Dr. Verkhovtsev is framed by Rat in his disguise, and the Second Captain is held prisoner because of the absolute fuel's formula. Due to the book and the adaptation's immense popularity, as well as to it establishing many a fact in the franchise's canon, it's hardly any secret to Russian-speaking readers.
• Ships That Pass in the Night: There is quite a number of fanfics shipping Alice with the Third Captain, even though he barely makes an appearance and Alice is nine at the time of the plot. There is the major fact that she saves his life, but there is no hint she even has any Precocious Crush on him. He also doesn't appear or get a separate mention in any other book in the series (at most, the Three Captains can get mentioned as a team).
