Ask Emma (Ask Emma Book 1) Paperback – January 29, 2019
When 13-year-old Emma Woods gets that tingling feeling in her fingertips, she knows she's on to a great idea-and starting an advice blog for her classmates at Austen Middle may be one of her most brilliant ones yet! Who better to give advice on friendship, style, school, and even crushes than someone who's going through it too?
But when Ask Emma goes live, she quickly realizes not everyone sees it that way. Suddenly, Emma is bombarded with peers asking her to help them postpone quizzes, get out of detention, and cut gym class short. This wasn't exactly what she had in mind. . . .What's worse, someone is posting hurtful comments, telling her to mind her own business. Despite her good intentions, Emma's blog seems to only be getting her-and her friends--deeper and deeper into trouble.
Will Ask Emma come to an end before it's really begun? Or can Emma find her voice, write what's in her heart, and truly stand up for what she believes in?
This book will include an appendix on cyberbullying resources.

Twenty-year-old Carrie Berk already has a life’s worth of accomplishments under her belt. It’s no wonder Bella Magazine declared her “an ambitious and dedicated boss babe,” and The Wall Street Journal dubbed her “a community-minded young creator.”
She is a verified content creator across several social media channels including TikTok (3.9M+ followers; 117M+ likes), Instagram (950K+ followers), Snapchat (105K+followers), YouTube (100K+ followers) and Pinterest (227K+ followers; 10M monthly views), with a monthly engagement of more than 100M.
A journalism major in college, Carrie is currently a reporter/contributing writer for HuffPost, Newsweek.com, The Daily Dot and others, on topics ranging from beauty and style to celebrity and sports. She has served as an on-camera correspondent for TigerBeat and Girls’ Life, covering red carpet arrivals and interviewing celebs at the Radio Disney Music Awards, New York Fashion Week, and the Teen Choice Awards. She has contributed to Seventeen Magazine and Girls’ Life’s print and digital channels.
She has acted on two Brat TV series, Stage Fright (as Karina) and Crown Lake (as the voice of Heather).
She is a bestselling children’s book author with twenty-one books to her credit. She penned her first book, Peace, Love and Cupcakes, in 2012. The Cupcake Club series went on to publish twelve books (selling 300,000+ copies worldwide), and became an award-winning Off-Broadway show and featured selection in 2017’s New York Musical Festival. Her second book, Fashion Academy, stems from her passion for fashion. The six-book series also became an Off-Broadway production at Vital Theatre and is currently licensed worldwide by Concord Music Publishing.
Finally Ask Emma (a three-book series for Bonnier) was based on Carrie’s firsthand experience as a teen blogger and her dedication to being a role model for positive posting. She is a dedicated anti-bullying activist and an advocate for mental health awareness, especially for teens and women.
An avid runner, she ran the New York City Marathon in November, 2022.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018Just read the first chapter and am hooked! Can't wait to dive in! This mother-daughter author duo has never disappointed and no doubt that Ask Emma will follow suit!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019Our Granddaughter loved it
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021I liked the book! I found it at a book store, read the first page, and bought it. I am not sure how much I liked when she skipped class to go to help another kid get out of studying, but I guess she was just trying to help.
Honestly I dont think I would of bought the book if it costed as much as it does on here. It seembit over priced for a 175 page book, but I am not the publisher! :-D
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023Review from my daughter Laly (11):
Emma always loved helping people and fixing problems. And whenever she felt a tingling at her fingertips, she knew a good idea was coming. One day, she came up with the idea to start an advice blog for the Austen middle school seventh grade. Shortly after she started the blog, she met a boy unlike anybody else. He wasn't part of any club and had no intentions to; he was very mysterious. While she struggled to figure out who he was and whether or not she liked him, someone posted mean comments on her blog. They told her to quit her blog and stop putting her nose in other people's business. At some point, it got so bad that this person blasted an insulting photo of her to the entire seventh grade. Will Emma overcome this humiliation and figure out who this mysterious boy is?
The "Ask Emma" book was part of the September book box from Between the Bookends box, perfectly matching the theme "Booking into a new school year."
A mother-daughter author duo wrote the quick read but important one.
This book displays an essential theme about cyberbullying: how hurtful cyberbullying can be to other people. At the end of the book, you can find bullying resources.
Emma is a quirky character who would make an excellent friend. She is tenacious and conscientious. She is fearless in standing up for what is right. The mysterious boy was an interesting character and my favorite.
This book would be perfect to give to 5th- 7th graders.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022My girls really enjoyed this book! It's tough being a middle schooler, and as they moved through those years they found this story very inspirational. Emma is trying to find her way, just as my own kids were. She also learns about taking too much on, and we all struggle with that, even adults. As someone whose child was once bullied, I thought the cyberbullying theme was true to life also. I would recommend this book to anyone whose child is just beginning the exciting but also stressful experience of adolescence.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022I absolutely loved this book. I’m not a teen… but I so remember the angst of those days. It brought it back. I have bought several and given them to friends’ children. An important book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019I love the book and am reading it with my kids and their/our German friends who are learning English!
It is so much fun to read together and to talk about the content and how students in the US and in Germany see things. I gives a lot food for thought and discussion and is a good reading level for all the 7th graders in our little 'book club'.
