25 Grant Gadget ‘So,’ said Jenny, ‘are you going to ask Grant about the metal detector?’ ‘Shush!’ said Mr Shush, coming up behind us. ‘Sorry, Mr Shush,’ said Jenny. ‘Don’t say sorry,’ said Mr Shush, ‘just be quiet!’ Jenny nodded. ‘Okay, sorry,’ she whispered. Mr Shush rolled his eyes and then moved on to the next problem threatening the peace of his library: Clive was pushing the books on one side of the shelf so that the books on the other side were falling off onto Fiona’s feet. Typical Clive. The only thing he could think of to do with books was use them to hurt or annoy other people. ‘Well?’ said Jenny, as Mr Shush got busy with Clive. ‘Are you going to ask him?’ ‘Yes,’ I said. ‘I’m just waiting until Mr Shush is distracted.’ ‘He’s distracted now,’ said Jenny, nodding towards Mr Shush, who was making Clive pick up all the books he’d pushed off the shelf.
