In 'The Trouble With Heroes,' hiking is healing

Kate Messner’s new middle grade novel, “The Trouble With Heroes,” is about a boy who gets into trouble with the law. Instead of juvie, he’s tasked with hiking all 46 Adirondack peaks.

Andrew Limbong, host of NPR’s “Book of the Day” podcast, talks with Messner about the book.
