A book Review of It Came From Beneath the Sink
By Julie, Grade 7, Yangon International School

Imagine a mythical creature, living under a sink, which brings bad luck. It cannot be killed with violence or fire or water. The protagonist, Katrina in the novel It Came From Beneath the Sink tries to kill this mythical creature. But, the options she has are limited. Robert Lawrence Stine, an author of hundreds of horror novels, selling over 400million copies since 2008, creates an a...more

The evil version of Spongebob SquarePants! The cover is misleading, you think there's a real monster, but its actually just a sponge. When the sponge was first introduced into the book, I thought it was dumb..and I still do, but I enjoyed it, if that makes sense. RL does a great job in making the sponge entertaining. The book was told through female first person. As you know I love so I got through the book rather quickly. The "curse" was consistent. Everyone that touched the sponge go...more

Most goosebumps are only scary in correlation to me being under the age of 10 when I read them. This book was genuinely scary...erm... like I said, the details are fuzzy, but something about a potato making your life miserable, um, it was more convincing in the book....

A evil sponge? Well this is what this story is about. It is about a sponge that is found in the sink of the house. What this sponge does is that it causes bad luck for anyone that has possession of it. The owner of the sponge cant throw it out or else she will die in a day. This sponge laughs as the owner gets all these curses and things coming their way.

Eventually the sponge dies when you reverse the effect. If you can't kill it by hatred why not make the sponge not like you anymore...more

When I was in third grade this was one of my FAVORITE Goosebumps, well I hadnt read it in a few years so I decided to read it, it is about a sponge that is in a house that Kat had JUST moved into.
Well, the sponge caused bad luck, and they foung out it was really called a Grool. And whoever found it had to keep it or else they would die within one day, so they kept it, and they tried to kill it, but it would just form back into one piece. So finally they killed it by giving it love not ha...more

The lesson i learned in this book was to always listen to your parents, because if you dont it gets you in sticky situations. Even though the "sponge" was alive, no one believed him. So every time he was like the boy who cried wolf and no one believed him. I also learned that a mistake is a mistake and mistake dont happen twice. when he seen the other object i think he should of learned from his mistake from the previous!

This book is about a brother and a sister who move in to a 3 story house and they like it at first but then they realize that something in the sink is alive. What could it be i learned that this book has a mystery that you have to find out at the end. Theses types of books make you have the chills or...more

I was hooked on these series as a kid. I remember when this first book came out and all the hype surrounding it, and quickly joined in on scarfing these things down. They were fun at the time, although even in grade school they had me rolling my eyes at some of the goofiness (and the cliffhanger chapter endings! Every chapter, without fail!).

This book is really good!! It's all about a girl named Kat who found a Grool and can't get rid of it. A Grool brings bad luck to whoever owns it and their family. Also, whoever gives the Grool away will die within one day. Eventually, at the end, Kat finds a way to get rid of the Grool and is rid of it forever.

This was the first Goosebumps book I read as a child and I absolutely loved it! 15 years later I still remember it. Goosebumps were my favorite books as a kid and it would be fun to just read one again to bring back some memories.

Kat and her bro, daniel, moved into a new house, they felt very luck. but that was about to run out. Because something evil is living in their new house. something that is moving, watching, and waiting.

This is my favorite book written by R.L.Stine

Its about a girl named Kat that moves into a new house, she finds an evil sponge that drains her luck away, she then slowly dies.
Rosie Day
Quirky and scary fun in a tale with a likeable protagonist and something bizarre living under the sink. Great Goosebumps silliness; one of my favourites in the series.

Goosebumps was so popular when I was a kid, we would get in fights in the library over who got to check the new one out next. No joke.
