The author Celia Rees has called the Kids’ Lit Quiz “a pub quiz without the beer”! In fact the quiz is a hugely popular annual literature competition that spans 3 continents. Teams of 4 have to answer 100 questions on children’s literature divided into 10 weird and wonderful categories such as Anatomy (What body part was the Pobble missing?) and Sea Monsters (What kind of whale was Moby Dick?). Teams work collaboratively to answer each question put to them by the New Zealand Quizmaster Wayne Mills.
The Kimbookworms, comprising Madeleine Kluth, Grace Bowland, Natasha Green and Sasha Semple, battled heroically to come second out of eighteen teams in the Central England regional heat held at Roade School in Northamptonshire. They came away with book tokens and lots of goodies for the school library as well as a real determination to take part next year – not least because the grand final will be in Hamilton, New Zealand!
