An evening with Stacy Gregg

Stacy Gregg (Ngāti Mahuta/Ngāti Pukeko/Ngāti Maru Hauraki) is the acclaimed writer of Nine Girls which won the supreme Margaret Mahy Award at the NZ children's book awards in 2024. She’s also the undisputed queen of pony fiction: her Pony Club Secrets series (totalling 13 books) sold over 1.5 million copies globally in English alone and later became the CBBC TV series Mystic which ran for three seasons. Stacy is HarperCollins NZ’s third best-selling children’s author of all-time after David Walliams and Dr Seuss. Her latest book is the beautiful and very moving The Last Journey, an animal adventure with cats and a strong environmental message.

Come along to The Children’s Bookshop for drinks, snacks and conversation about what it takes to be a best-selling children’s author and what inspires her work. Stacy will be in conversation with writer Lauren Keenan.

Drinks and nibbles included in the ticket ($15). Under 12 tickets are free. Presented in partnership with HarperCollins NZ.
