The Reading Passport: Books set in Alaska

Alaska is the largest state in the U.S. It is so large, that if it were a country, it would be the 17th largest country in the world. It is also the place where you can find a museum dedicated exclusively to hammers (in Haines, AK), and a city dedicated to Christmas (North Pole, AK). In Borrows, AK the longest night lasts for 67 days, something to consider if you are planning to stay up all night reading the following list of books:
