Ask Elizabeth: Real Answers to Everything You Secretly Wanted to Ask AboutLove, Friends, YourBody... and Life in General [Bargain Price] [Paperback]

Elizabeth Berkley (Author)

Book Description

Release date: March 22, 2011

A teen girl's guide to life, love, friends, and growing up, in an intimate diary format from Saved By the Bell star and popular teen spokesperson Elizabeth Berkley.

Ask Elizabeth is the complete guide to teen life; the last and only self-help book they'll ever need. Drawn from the many workshops Elizabeth Berkley has conducted with teen girls across the country, Ask Elizabeth brings these revealing and intimate conversations to life on the page.

Much like a private diary, the book is a personal resource that girls can turn to when they seek answers to teen life's toughest questions. It contains real and practical advice, anecdotes, and Elizabeth's own life lessons in answer to frequently asked questions from Elizabeth's workshop, such as: What do you do when you look in the mirror and don't like what you see? or How do you get a guy to know you're alive?

Along with a panel of experts, Elizabeth advises teen girls in matters of sex, nutrition, fitness, body image, personal relationships, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teens love Ask Elizabeth!! (Ask my teens!!!) April 8, 2011

By MediaFan

Format:Paperback

I bought a copy of Ask Elizabeth to bring to school with me (I teach High School English) in case a student wanted to read it during their independent reading time, or borrow it over a weekend, etc. (I always liked Elizabeth Berkley-- grew up watching Saved by the Bell--- so this was a no-brainer purchase for me.)

Well, as soon as one girl got her hands on the book, several others asked if I had more copies. What? Why? It turns out, the issues in the book are issues that the girls WANT to talk about but really are too self-aware to bring up to anyone--- even parents! To solve the problem for the time being, the girls are using the book in a book club on Fridays-- reading a selection together and using it to spark an honest conversation (which is the goal of book clubs anyhow!)

Obviously, I will now have to order at least a couple more copies of the book.

One more note: I don't know how they (the publishers) did this, but the book is GORGEOUS, full of bright colors and pictures / illustrations EVERYWHERE--- and yet the price (both cover price AND amazon price) is so so affordable. So if your teen is reluctant to read typical books--- this may be the answer--- it LOOKS appealing and IS appealing!

I can't recommend this book enough. If you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, uncle, aunt, ... friend even, get the book for a teenager in your life. They will THANK YOU FOR IT, believe me, it is terrific.

Enjoy!

My 16 year old daughter said this was the best book she has ever read. She got the book last week and would not put it down. Elizabeth Berkley has an amazing way of reaching out to teens. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars hits the mark on all topics April 24, 2011

By murph

I got this book for my neice who has been going thru all the usual teen angst and I was pleased to find that she enjoyed it as much as I did when I "pre read" it to be sure it would be helpful for her. It destigmatizes all the girl issues we're all afraid to talk about and think we're the only ones going thru it. Plus it had the added bonus of a very cool visual presentation complete with all the "in" bits of style like camo, handwritten notes in teen lingo, etc. If I had tried to talk to my neice about these issues it would never have happened but giving her the book it opened up the door. Can't thank the author enough for being so thoughtful and right on the mark about the topics she included. P.S. Us older folk will love this was written by Jesse from Saved by the Bell.
