Jackson Stander is the main protagonist of the second Goosebumps Most Wanted book, Son of Slappy.
History[]
Jackson was a very well behaved boy, in contrast to his sister. One day he found Slappy in his suitcase after visiting his Grandpa Whitman. Soon, Slappy starts controlling Jackson and forces him to do bad deeds and make insulting remarks.
Slappy controlled him using a chirp from a game Jackson played but even after Jackson discovered this, Slappy was able to use the chirp from a canary. Jackson ruined things for the Youth Center he volunteers for and was grounded for all of his evil actions.
He discovered that Rachel was working with Slappy the whole time and when they heard him eavesdropping, he heard the chirp again, meaning he might be permanently under Slappy's control.
