I am not an expat teen but I am someone who moved around a lot as a child and a teen and as such I can relate to many of the stories written in this book. The inherent difficulties of being a teenager weave through these stories spoken in the first person by the teenagers themselves. In our global village and with the traditional nuclear family dynamic the exception rather than the norm, the ways to develop and maintain lasting relationships and the sense of having a 'home' are two clear themes that we all, as human beings, struggle with - whether we grow up in one house, one country or move constantly around the world. This book can help inform these struggles whether you are a teenager, a parent, or a professional. The wisdom within the chapters clearly identifies the various points of view so that conversations can begin and creates realistic, actionable pathways for those in trouble and those trying to help them. It is a wonderful resource for all teenagers - particularly expat teens, their parents and the professionals they encounter and fills a deep void in literature in this area.

Expat Teens Talk is specifically targeted to Expatriate Teenagers and those who work with this unique population. It addresses the needs and different challenges that Expat Teens face throughout their lives (in particular, their adolescent years), and enables them to learn more about and understand that most of what they are going through and what they feel as a result of constant change in their lives is 'normal' and shared by many other Expat Teens worldwide. Expat Teens, worldwide, shared with us their stories, questions, challenges, fears, and experiences. In return for their submissions, we provided them with support, advice, and solutions from the perspective of their fellow Expat Peers, as well as the perspective of other Expat Parents and Expat Professionals, as these are the three groups that Expat Teenagers most want to hear from. It is meant to be a 'dip in, dip out' book, as opposed to feeling like it has to be read from cover to cover. We hope to provide the tools and information that Expat Teens can use to empower themselves and their peers, worldwide.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2012Format: PaperbackThe authors involved expat teens, expat parents and expat professionals to create a valuable resource for all those who experience change in their formative years of life. In my work as an expat lecturer and a psychologist I often come across to the groups described in the book, and can relate to most stories. Although expat teenagers for whom change may be the only constant, gain important experiences, broader vision on world and life, they often need lots of support in the journey. I really liked the use of expat peer stories and advice. These stories will give to expat teens the sense that they are not alone, and the advice coming from people who are in their shoes will be most appreciated. This book is a good source, which will hopefully serve as a reference to many expat teens and their parents as they pass through the challenging process of change.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2012Format: PaperbackThis book is a MUST for expatriate families. The layout makes it so easy to use, you can find the issue at hand in seconds. The chapters cover all facets of the teen expat experience with first hand stories from teens who have lived it. There is also clear and well-balanced advice from parents and professionals. Being a teen is difficult regardless of where you are living, Expat Teens Talk will help teens and parents navigate the teenage years in a foreign country. Personally, I found the entire book to be a huge help as I am in the process of applying to teach overseas. I know that I will use this reference regularly as we get ready to move and find ourselves in a new place.
