I found this on KU but found it helpful enough to purchase after I cancelled my KU subscription so I could work through it over a period of time. In that regard, I think it will be useful. There are a lot of typos in the Kindle edition, which are distracting to the read. It is also frustrating that at least a dozen times throughout the book the author directs the reader to a website to download additional "bonus" resources; however, when you click the link, the page is no longer available and the resources (which sound like they would be helpful to the experience) cannot be found.

Helpful, tons of resources and activities that can be used or adapted in different ways. Great stuff on transition and especially the identity journey through transition and integrating multiple worlds for the road ahead.
