Lit kids

A team of kids from Toronto recently took second place in the International Kids' Lit Quiz, in competition against teams from the U.K., South Africa and the host country, New Zealand. The Quiz includes questions on literary characters, authors, novels and picture books. It's the first time a Canadian team has participated in the 20-year-old competition for children aged 10 to 13. Team members Samantha Unger, Mason Brown, Shuli Jones and Alexandra Nash are all students at Summit Heights Public School. It was a surprise win for them, as well as for their principal and coach.
