There’s No Place Like Home

Kansas residents can proudly say that famous line from The Wizard of Oz. Contemporary authors surely want to get attention, too.

We definitely need some more books for this state! Send your suggestions and please don’t forget to tell me why you’ve chosen that book(s) for Kansas. It doesn’t need to be explicitly about the state, only clearly set in it and written by someone who actually lived there. I have a bias towards books written by authors who are still living so that we can reflect more on Kansas today but I won’t turn down a classic if you make a good argument for it!

Books are in no order of preference. That they are on this list is not a reflection of my personal taste or even that I’ve read them — I want you to find what works for you.
