An Australia team, from Canberra Grammar School, has won the 2018 world title in the "sport of reading": the 2018 Kids' Lit Quiz. The New Zealand team, from Belmont Intermediate School, came fourth. The Kids' Lit Quiz is a Kiwi invention, which has been going for 27 years, and took place at St Kentigerns School in Auckland yesterday.
