My (Belated) McKenna by Mary Casanova Book Review on Goodreads

McKenna (American Girl Today)McKenna by Mary Casanova

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I am quite a few years older than McKenna, yet I could relate immensely to her story. When I was her age, and younger, I did gymnastics, too. I loved her telling of her days there, and thought there was just enough of that in book. I could also relate to her stories with homework, staying up late to finish an assignment, using classical music to focus, trying hard to make school work,persevering, etc. I also liked her breathing gray sky credo a lot. I used it at school and at home. I tell myself to stay focused like McKenna! I loved her character so much, she's one of my favorite Girl of the Year's now. I loved her to no end, and this book was amazing. I finished it in a little over an hour.
