Title Drop | |
| Half Moon Investigations / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: At the end of the book, Fletcher and Red are discussing names for their team. It stops just short of actually being this, but it's set up so the reader knows the title will be the next line Fletcher speaks. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Half Moon Investigations / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: 13 episodes in the series, only one of which dealt with some of the book plot. There's also new characters, particularly girl journalist Mia Stone, who joins Fletcher and Red to make a team of three. | |

Kid Detective | |
| Half Moon Investigations / int_31e2ad94 | comment |
Kid Detective: Fletcher Moon is a 12-year-old detective. Somewhat strange is that Fletcher is a certified Private Eye, as in certified in the US (he took an online course), even though he lives in Ireland, where Private Eyes don't need a license. | |

| Half Moon Investigations / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Some of the villains are a group of elementary schoolgirls who worship some important woman and try to get as many boys as they can expelled from their school. They also are violent and not afraid to do illegal things. You don't want to be a elementary schoolboy near them. | |

Splash of Color | |
| Half Moon Investigations / int_bbb3a5a0 | comment |
Splash of Color: Used extensively in the TV version for scenes showing how the Crime Of The Week was actually commited (black-and-white otherwise), most notably with spot colour on the pink clothes worn by the Pinks and a yellow jacket that was a Clue. Never two different colours in the same scene, though. | |
