Revision as of 13:38, 2 June 2021

Tim Swanson is the protagonist of the forty-first Goosebumps book Bad Hare Day, as well as its television adaptation. He is a budding magician and is into magic tricks. He has a ten-year-old younger sister named Ginny.

History

Tim is a boy who dreams of being a great magician just like his idol, Amaz-O. He performs tricks for his classmates after school, but he wants to spice up his act. When he gets two free tickets to go to a late night performance at a local nightclub, he is overjoyed. He sneaks out of his house, dragging sister Ginny along. When they make it to the show, Tim is chosen as Amaz-O's volunteer in the disappearing act. He is placed in a large cabinet that drops him through a trap door on the stage.

When he lands in the basement, Tim wanders the corridors and comes across Amaz-O's dressing room. Tim hopes Amaz-O will reveal some of his secrets, but instead the magician snaps at him, and tells him to get lost. Tim is hurt and decides to steal Amaz-O's box of tricks as payback. However, when he opens the box and tests out some of the tricks, things go awry. His sister Ginny winds up being transformed into a rabbit, leading him to realize the only person who can help is Amaz-O.

Tim heads back to the nightclub, and is shocked to discover his idol is actually trapped in the form of a rabbit. Amaz-O says the magic that afflicts his sister will wear off by itself. Amaz-O's rude behavior continues until Tim calls him out on it. Amaz-O apologizes, saying that being a rabbit gets on his nerves; he then offers Tim a chance to be in his show. Tim accepts, and is transformed into Amaz-O's new rabbit assistant.
