Savvy Girl — Lynn Messina

Seventeen-year-old Chrissy Gibbons has landed her dream job -- a summer internship at her favorite magazine, Savvy. Being an intern is hard work, but the job becomes a lot more fun when Chrissy is befriended by a glamorous fashion editor who takes her to all the best parties. As the summer winds down, though, Chrissy realizes that in the whirlwind of parties and boys, she's been neglecting what could be her big break in the magazine business: an opportunity to compete against other interns to become Savvy's first teen columnist.

     Chrissy struggles to come up with a winning subject for her column -- and in the process, she discovers what is most important to her.
