By Smarties prize day we’ll also know who has won the Kids’ Lit Quiz, which has just finished its 13 heats in England, Scotland and Wales (anyone want to organise next year’s in Northern Ireland?). See the results of all the heats at www.tes.co.uk; next week’s TES will carry a report of the final plus a set of quiz questions to help you run your own end-of-term event.
For those who attempted the mini-quiz on the news pages on November 12, here are the answers (no prizes, just a warm glow): 1. Huckleberry Finn; 2.
A troll; 3. Bagheera; 4. Lassie; 5. Pippie Longstocking; 6. Artemis Fowl; 7. Jack Rider; 8. Seven; 9. Malorie Blackman; 10. Dallas and Florida.
