I noticed that you link to the young readers edition of Mao's Last Dancer. There is also an edition for adult readers:

Thanks for posting the trailer!
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that - I meant to link to the adult edition (the linking tool I use doesn't offer much information about the edition when you link to it, so I assumed it was the right one). Thanks!
