child found out about book on the internet!

I didn't set out looking for feel-good stories today. But this one dropped in my lap:

I'm working on the children's ref desk this morning. I just helped a mother and her third-grade son, who was looking for Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I asked if he had read any of them or if he wanted the first one in the series. He wasn't sure. At some point, I asked where he heard about the book. His response was unexpected: on the internet. He couldn't remember the exact site. But somewhere, in his web surfing, he read about a book that caught his attention. And mom brought him here to get it.
