The Secret of Platform 13 is a children's book by Eva Ibbotson. Inside the abandoned Platform 13 in King's Cross Railway Station lies the Gump, an ancient and magical secret passage. Every nine years it opens to take those who wish to leave the world behind for the mythical island known as...The Island. The Queen gives birth to a son the year the Gump opens again and after the Prince's three nannies are overcome with homesickness, she allows them to take the Prince with them for a brief visit to our world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })What they don't count on is running into Mrs. Trottle, who desperately wants to have a baby...even if it means turning to kidnapping.Nine years later, a young hag named Odge learns about the rescue mission being planned by the King to bring home his son, who has been raised by Mrs. Trottle as her son, Raymond. After much convincing she joins the appointed rescuers—Cornelius the wizard, Gerkintrude the fey and Hans the (temporarily invisible) giant—in their journey to London. Their task will not be as easy as they thought however, as Raymond is not only constantly protected, but is also an extreme Royal Brat. Though they find immeasurable help from Ben, the grandson of Raymond's former nanny, and the many magical creatures in hiding, will it be enough to bring the Prince back to the Island before time runs out?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ambiguously Human: Many of the Island's unusual creatures, which is why they can move or travel around London without being noticed. The rescuers were specifically chosen with this in mind. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| The Secret of Platform 13 / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The Nuckelavee, who seems to be benign or at least fairly harmless (and is driven away when Raymond insults it). In the original folklore that the creature appears in, it is much more nightmarish. | |

Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad | |
| The Secret of Platform 13 / int_bd3b726e | comment |
Bad is Good and Good is Bad: All of the Island's inhabitants are good, but species like hags seem to act this way. The fact that Odge isn't ugly and terrifying is seen as kind of embarrassing. | |

Awful Wedded Life | |
| The Secret of Platform 13 / int_deecc9eb | comment |
Awful Wedded Life: Although they don't often fight because Mr. Trottle is always at work, the Trottles clearly dislike each other, and it's made clear, in a PG kind of way, that they haven't touched each other in years. | |
