Ready to Fly... book review by Lily

_Hey Everyone,
I finished "Ready to Fly" McKenna Brooks' 2nd book.  I really enjoyed it, and I would give it a 4.5 overall. 

I really love McKenna's overall character which is to just be yourself.  I really like that.  I really like how McKenna is willing to take the time to volunteer at Hearts and Horses, and how she supports her friends, no matter what decision they make. 

What I don't like about McKenna's story is when McKenna went to Hearts and Horses, she is very uncomfortable with people with disabilities.  I really don't like this and think American Girl should have left this out of the story.  I think she really doubts people's ability to do things based on their disability.  I don't think this is the way you should judge people, and while I know American Girl is trying to teach girls this, I think they could have approached the lesson in a different way. 

If you read the McKenna books or have any of her things, I would love to see photos and/or see your thoughts on the McKenna books and items.  Feel free to email reviews, or photos at agpixplace@gmail.com.  I'll be sure to post them on my website.

Have a great weekend,
Lily

PS: The Dolls have posted photos of Cecile on their page.  Be sure to check it out!  They have taken some snow photos that they would like to share as well... I don't know when that post is planned for, but I'll let you know if I hear anything!!

Cool! I haven't read the first McKenna book yet, but I am requesting it from the library.
