Maiya Ibrahim Books in Order

First presented in 2014, the Readings Prize is an Australian literary award across three separate categories of fiction: Children's, Young Adult and New Australian Fiction. It is run by Readings bookstores, an independent Melbourne bookseller with eight stores, established in 1969. In 2016, Readings won International Bookstore of the Year at the London Book Fair, a category open to all stores outside of the UK. Every year, a shortlist of six titles is selected by a revolving panel of Readings staff. Once the shortlist has been decided, a guest judge then joins the panel to select a winner. The Prize is awarded to the work of highest literary merit.
