Based on "the McKenna stories" by Mary Casanova.
Jade Pettyjohn, Kerris Dorsey, Ysa Penarejo, Cathy Rigby, Nia Vardalos, Ian Ziering.
Meet McKenna Brooks, a determined and confident young gymnast, in this all-new, modern-day adventure. McKenna is on track to make the regional competitive gymnastics team, but off track in school, where she's suddenly struggling to keep up. When her teacher suggests a tutor, she's embarrassed and desperate to keep it a secret from her friends. Then a bad fall at the gym sidetracks her from her favorite sport. Will she recover in time to make the team? Can she succeed in school, too? McKenna needs to focus on her strengths to overcome her challenges--and, with the help of family and friends, find a way to believe in herself again.

American Girl: Mckenna Shoots For the Stars submitted by estermyer on July 27, 2013, 4:55pm This is an awesome American Girl movie! It is one of my personal favorites. It is about a 10 year old who is a gymnast but is falling behind in school. So she ends up getting a tutor and is really embarrassed about it and tries to keep her friends from knowing. But then she breaks her ankle during gymnastics and can't do gymnastics for a while. But she ends up recovering in the end.

This is definitely one of the best American Girl movies so far!

Mckenna submitted by Cloverdale on June 17, 2016, 7:18pm I loved it because it was about gymnastics and I love gymnastics. She has a tutor. She broke her ankle. She learns from these challenges.
