Thrilled to learn that the audiobook adaptation of Graham Akhurst’s debut young adult novel Borderland has been selected as one of the Best Listens of 2024 in Australia by Audible! The Audible Editorial team reviewed countless listens released this year and Borderland rose to the top.

Narrated by proud Wiradjuri man Jarrod Drape, and produced by Bolinda audio – we’re thrilled with this recognition for Graham’s incredible YA novel which was also longlisted in the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year Older Readers, nominated in the 2023 Aurealis Awards for Best Young Adult Novel, and shortlisted in the 2024 Queensland Literary Awards Queensland Premier’s Award for a Work of State Significance!

Congratulations to Graham, Jarrod and Bolinda – and many thanks to the Audible crew too!
