Kia ora,
I've got some exciting news! Stacy Gregg will be visiting our school on Monday 3 April for Hui time!
Here are some interesting facts about Stacy:
She is HarperCollins NZ’s third best-selling children’s author of all time – outranked only by David Walliams and Dr Seuss.
To date, Stacy has sold over a million and half copies, has been nominated four times for New Zealand book awards for junior fiction, has won the Children’s Choice award for fiction three years running, and has also been awarded 7 Storylines Notable books awards including two in 2019, one for her novel The Fire Stallion and the other for Mini-Whinny: Happy Birthday to Me!, her first book in a new series of younger fiction for 5-7 year olds. Mini Whinny was also shortlisted for the NZ Children’s Book Awards in August 2019.
One of her book series has been made into a TV series called Mystic - filmed mostly in NZ - which is currently on telly in the UK and on TVNZ2.
Stacy also wrote the script for this new TV series:
And, get this ... Stacy went to Woodlands Park School! She is delighted to be coming to visit us!
We have quite a few of her books in the library:
Please encourage your children to read some of her books before she visits to make the most of the Q&A time.
Also, I borrowed some Stacy Gregg books from the National Library for issuing. I'm currently reading Prince of Ponies - it's gripping!
