Take on an unforgettable summer challenge with The Trouble with Heroes by Kate Messner! Tweens entering 5th–7th grades will pick up a copy in June, meet the author virtually, and then spend the month reading Finn’s story of mistakes, mountains, and second chances.
In July, come back for a high-energy book club experience—tackle a mini “46 Peaks” challenge, build Finn’s backpack, create (and taste!) a trail mix, and share your thoughts through games, crafts, and creative activities.
