Explore Daring Heists and Lovable Outcasts in YA Fantasy Fiction with Leigh Bardugo

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 10/03/2025

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Fans of the fantasy genre will not want to miss a virtual author talk by Leigh Bardugo on Thursday, October 9, 2025 presented by the Ocean County Library. The event begins at 7:00pm.

Since publishing in 2015, Leigh Bardugo’s highly popular Six of Crows has taken the world of YA literature by storm. The complex fantasy setting, thoughtfully structured magic system, and morally grey characters all collide in a world you won’t want to leave. Join us as we pick the brain of the New York Times bestselling author, celebrating the release of Six of Crows (The Dregs Edition).

Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction – if they don’t kill each other first.

In celebration of its decade-old status the duology will be rerelease in special Dregs Edition paperback copies featuring beautiful new cover art by Harol Bustos, black stained edges, and updated maps.

Registration is required for this free program. To register, visit tinyurl.com/BardugoOCL, call 732-349-6200, or visit your local OCL branch. Register today to take part in the adventure.
