A new leaf

Before opening up on Saturday I made a quick detour to the library to collect the next Robert Muchamore in the series my 11 year old is reading. And to order the next one.
He sat by the (unlit) log burner in the main tea room all morning until he'd read half of it. That's when I interrupted (dreadful mother, but the next one won't arrive for another week).
So many customers commented on the sight. They asked what he was reading, what it was about, what did he like about it; said they loved reading and how great it was to see a young person engrossed in a book.
Oddly they didn't have same reaction when he brought his games console with him yesterday.
