Michael Webster

Michael Webster is the main protagonist in the twenty-eighth Goosebumps book, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom. He is the older brother of Tara Webster.

History
When he messes up his father's cuckoo clock, he gets himself into a mess. A time warp, to be exact. He tries to get to the store where it is, only to find it closed. As a baby, he succesfully turns the head of the Cuckoo forward and is twelve again. However, his sister, Tara (from the chapters up to 17) is gone. Given all of the bad things she has done to him, he decides not to retreive her.

Personality
Michael is pretty much best known for his hatred of Tara. He hated it when she got him into trouble and he hated it when his parents blamed him for something that was her fault. And this unfortunately gave him a complicated relationship with his mother, as she was so unfair to him by saying that he is always making things up, telling fibs and impossible stories and that his father was encouraging his "imagination" too much, even though Michael doesn't have an imagination. He is also sick of the no-meat, low-fat meals that she constantly makes for dinner. Michael is also close to his friends and has a crush on Mona as there is something sort of cool about her that he really liked. He began to have second thoughts about her during going in time at nursery school when he saw what she used to be like. But after Ceecee told him that Mona had a crush on him, he began to reconsider his crush. Michael also likes to have some privacy and really works out in sports.

Appearance
Michael is twelve years old, Caucasian, short for his age but not skinny, with short and thick brown hair. Everyone says that he and Tara look alike, which Michael hated.
