The Alaska Center for the Book is proud to announce the books chosen to represent Alaska for
the 2025 Great Reads from Great Places, a program featured at the annual National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. on September 6.

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.
