McKenna

          McKenna was written and illustrated by Mary Casanova. It was published by American Girl this year, 2012. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library. It is the first in a series of two.
          And now I bring you, all you American Girl fans, the 2012 girl of the year, McKenna! In this book, McKenna not only has gymnastics, but she also has to meet with a tutor named Josie to bring her grades up. Not only that, but she has to face her friends when they find out she has a tutor. Then, at the end of the book, she breaks her ankle at the demonstration for gymnastics. Find out how she overcomes all these problems in this book, McKenna.
          My favorite part of McKenna is when she breaks her ankle. The doctor says she must have a cast on for a little over two months. At first, McKenna is crabby. Then she realizes that she should just be who she is-McKenna. But will she ever get back to the sport she loves? Find out in the next book, McKenna, Ready to Fly!
