Great Reads from Great Places

The Alaska Center for the Book is proud to announce the books chosen to represent Alaska for
the 2024 Great Reads from Great Places, a program featured at the annual National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

Since 2002, each state has selected a book written for children or young adults that reflects
their state’s unique character and location. In 2022, a second book, one for an adult audience
was added to the program. Selections are highlighted at the Festival, and are placed on the
permanent list of honored titles online at Great Reads from Great Places.
