Character
McKenna is a ten-year-old girl in 4th grade who lives on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington. She is skilled in gymnastics but struggles with her schoolwork, specifically reading comprehension.
McKenna is the oldest of three children, with younger twin sisters named Maisey and Mara Brooks, who are both five. Maisey and Mara both do gymnastics like McKenna does. Her dad is a high school principal and her mother owns a coffee shop.
McKenna is described as strong-willed and determined. McKenna is determined to be an Olympic gold medalist for Gymnastics.
McKenna has a dog named Cooper, and a pet hamster named Polka Dot.
Her friends are Toulane Thomas, Sierra Kuchinko (both of whom are gymnasts), and Josie Myers (who is also her tutor).
