The Flyers, Hardcover

With the arrival of a glossy, cream-colored envelope in the mail, Elena Martinez's dreams come true: she's been chosen for the Spread Your Wings Magazine's Young Flyers program--a week-long summer internship where she'll get to learn the ins and outs of working for the most popular teen magazine. She heads to New York City, anxious to get away from her best friend, Summer, who is suddenly spending so much time with another girl from school and being so secretive about it.

Once there Elena meets her fellow Young Flyers: Harlow, who can get to the bottom of any story, Whitney, who has spot-on fashion sense, and Cailin, a social media star with thousands of followers and an eye for photography.

As the four new friends explore the city that never sleeps, each girl brings a piece of home, and a few secrets, with them and learns that no one's life is as glossy as it may appear. But with courage, teamwork, and lots of passion, there's no stopping a Flyer.
