Hmmm... In the case of Dr. Sleep, I would allow it, personally. 12-year old girls are permitted to be spunky. Any older than that, it's weird.

But not plucky. Never plucky.

At least, I hope you're talking about Dr. Sleep, because if there are more SK blurbs using the "spunky (age) (genderchild)" formula, I may have to reconsider.
