MCKENNA SHOOTS FOR THE STARS is the upcoming movie that will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray. It's about a young girl named McKenna (Jade Pettyjohn) who loves gymnastics. But when her grades start to slip and she suffers a nasty fall, she starts to doubt herself.

Judging by one of the clips released in honor of Best Friends' Day, McKenna has got a great support system, including her teammate. It's very sweet watching the girls interacting and seeing McKenna getting reassured when she starts to doubt herself. Life's easier when you have people who believe in you!

This movie will be perfect for girls in preschool and elementary school. I remember when I was that age I loved American Girls, and this movie would've been perfect for me back then. On top of that, it seems like this movie gives girls a good lesson about believing in themselves when the going gets tough.

Remember, it's good to believe in yourself, but always believe in God, too! He will guide you throughout life. No one promised a bed of roses, but He will make it easier!

This movie will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray on July 3rd, 2012. Be sure to pick it up for your young girl!
