        I loved this movie!!!!!!!!!! It is about a girl who loves gymnastics, and then she brakes her ankle and thinks that she won't be able to go on the olympics and she has wanted that her whole life. Things get even harder when she finds out that she needs a tutor. Then things end up working out!

                    I liked it but it wasn't exactly like the book. I liked watching her do gymnastics and how she was friends with her tutor.

                      The movie McKenna is by far my favorite American Girl movie. I like it because there are some super amazing gymnastic moves that she and her friends do.
