The complete story of Mei Li in one volume (books 1 & 2 of Y.O.U.T.H. A.T.M.) In this illustrated version, eleven-year-old Mei Li finds herself teaching her American English teacher how to survive in China - in regards to bargaining in the shops, and following unwritten customs, such as always bringing a gift when visiting. With the death of her classmate, Mei Li begins having many questions about death and how to live forever. Her English teacher is the only person she knows who has the answers to her questions. But can she trust a foreign devil? When Mei Li changes schools, she must learn new ways. With her parents working almost constantly, she searches for friendship with their maid, Sonja and an elderly neighbor, Mrs. Wong, as well as Christians who meet secretly for church, and with a boy named Zhang Yi, along with her new foreign devil English teacher. Though she is a year older since beginning her search for eternal life, she continues searching, and finally makes a decision that will last forever.
