Debut: Goosebumps Slappyworld #2: Attack of the Jack!

A sister and brother who go to visit their uncle by the seaside, and discover several dangerous secrets inside the lighthouse where he lives.

  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Averted. They have a good relationship and Violet states that, unlike most younger siblings, Shawn doesn't complain or cause trouble for her.
  • Cool Big Sis: Shawn considers Violet this.
  • Does Not Like Spam: Violet hates bananas. This doesn't go well for her when Billy Bottoms attempts to enslave her to pick bananas on an island.
  • Forgot I Couldn't Swim: Shawn can't, and almost drowns when he's forced to try.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Shawn is quiet and well-behaved, whereas Violet is bolder and physically tougher.
  • Out of the Frying Pan: They go from being trapped on Jack's ship, to adrift in open water, to getting picked up by Billy Bottoms who plans to use them as slaves.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: They have very different personalities and interests.
  • The Social Expert: Violet claims to be very sociable with good people skills. When trapped on board Captain Jack's ship, she seems to be able to quickly read others' attitudes and use this to her advantage to work out how to escape.
  • Women Are Wiser: Violet is more sensible and practical than her brother and uncle.
