 Great Reads About Great Places
Each year the Library of Congress’ Center for the Book asks each state to submit a title to be included in the “Great Reads About Great Places” reading list. The list is then included on the Discover Great Places Through Reading Map that is distributed in the Pavilion of the States at the National Book Festival.
The Empire State Center for the Book, the New York State affiliate of the National Center for the Book is proud to provide the list of this good read for children or teens selected since 2002.
