It seems like a random fact until [[spoiler: at the end of the book where Kat finds Killer carrying the Lanx]].

The ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' book with a bad-luck causing sponge monster.
Katrina "Kat" Merton and her family have moved to a new house, where their dog quickly discovers a strange sponge, which seems to have eyes, under the sink. But as a series of misfortunes begin to plague the family, Kat's brother Daniel discovers the sponge's true identity as the Grool, a monster that feeds on bad luck, and cannot be gotten rid of until its current owner dies. Now, Kat and Daniel must try to figure out a way to safely beat the Grool's powers.
