Plus, she is struggling with reading and must find a way to keep up. McKenna is an absolutely gorgeous doll with silky caramel-colored hair.
McKenna will only be available during 2012 and throughout the year American Girl will support several initiatives in support of the inspirational message throughout her story including McKenna related retail events, McKenna “Take the Challenge” online activity and a partnership with Save the Children in support of their U.S. Literacy Program. Plus, McKenna’s stories will even premiere on DVD in an all-new movie based approach to her stories in 2012!

Then, girls that complete ten offline challenges that correspond to a particular strengths category will earn a trophy. For each trophy earned, American girl will donate $.25 (up to $50,000) to Save the Children’s U.S. Literacy Program!
