Ten-year-old McKenna has always been a good student-and great at gymnastics. So when her grades suddenly begin to fall, her teacher suggests a little extra help from a tutor. McKenna is horrified until she meets her tutor, Josie, a super-confident girl who also happens to be in a wheelchair. Josie encourages McKenna to focus on her strengths and work toward her goals one day at a time. But just as McKenna begins to shine in school, she's sidelined with a gymnastics injury--and her confidence unravels. Now she's worried about her grades and earning a spot on the competitive gymnastics team. Can she find a way to believe in herself again?

I love McKenna this book is so inspiring
I think this book is very inspiring, because it teaches you to follow your dreams and never give up. I actually think school comes before sports because when you are older, you will need to get a job and school will prepare you for that.
Great book!Can't wait to read the next one and see the movie!
Such a good book
