What a festive night! The large audience enjoyed the questions. Our winning team Kenilworth 1 School overtook the authors (Bali Rai, Ann Evans, David Calcutt and Dave Lowe) and won the heat by a commanding margin. In second place was the Ecclesbourne School And Kenilworth 2 team came third.
The large crowd tonight turned out to celebrate reading - there is something to be said about evening heats.
The winning team of Emily,Finley, charlie and Andrea were very strong. The prizes tonight were donated by the School Library Service and they again showed that they know how to host a great event.
The UK Final will be in Coventry on the 6th of December so please come along to watch and support the teams.
Happy readingWayne

About the Kids' Lit Quiz
The Kids' Lit Quiz is an annual quiz for students aged 10 - 13 years. Teams of four students, from Year 6, 7 and 8, are asked to answer 100 questions on children's literature divided into ten categories, which vary each year. Teams work collaboratively to answer each question put to them by the New Zealand Quizmaster Wayne Mills.
A school can enter up to two teams. There are 18 regional heats in the UK. The winning team from each region competes in the National Final which in 2014 will be held at Kings' College School Wimbledon, London. The overall UK winning team will be invited to compete for the International Title in
Connecticut in the summer of 2015.
