First, don’t forget that An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars comes out on DVD tomorrow – that’s July 3 at Walmart, American Girl stores and via digital download at Amazon. Second – it looks like McKenna movie star Jade Pettyjohn had fun meeting Olympic gymnasts and signing autographs for fans this past weekend in San Jose, CA at the 2012 US Olympic Trials for Gymnastics.

In celebration of the upcoming release, here is a new gymnastics-themed clip from the film – which was HANDS DOWN the favorite scene in the movie according to my daughter and her guests when we watched it last week:
Toulane (Ysa Penarejo) spies on McKenna™ (Jade Pettyjohn) and her tutor Josie (Kerris Dorsey) in this film clip.

i really like the movie and i read some info about jade pettyjohn and we have a lot in common….. i really like gymnastics but i never been in it. my mom had experience in gymnastics so she taught me some little moves including my older sister but she doesnt like it……she is into track and basketball. all i can do is all the splits,cartwheel,double cartwheel, one handed cartwheel, almost an ariel,backbend come up,almost a backwalkover,round off,and thats all. my question is, what is all jade pettyjohn can do in gymnastics?
I want to meet them!! I wonder what the goodies were?? Are they doing this everywhere or just there (wherever they are)!!
I got the movie for my b-day a few days ago
it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
i love it
