    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.

                    I think this movie was really good but I have one complaint; All the girls were sassy to their parents. My parents would not be pleased if I acted that way. Otherwise, shoot for the stars!
