The bestselling memoir by Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. I Am Malala. This is my story. Malala Yousafzai was only ten years old when the Taliban took control of her region. They said music was a crime. They said women weren't allowed to go to the market. They said girls couldn't go to school. Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan transformed by terrorism, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. So she fought for her right to be educated. And on October 9, 2012, she nearly lost her life for the cause- She was shot point-blank while riding the bus on her way home from school. No one expected her to survive. Now Malala is an international symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner. In this Young Readers Edition of her bestselling memoir, which has been reimagined specifically for a younger audience and includes exclusive photos and material, we hear firsthand the remarkable story of a girl who knew from a young age that she wanted to change the world and did. Malala's powerful story will open your eyes to another world and will make you believe in hope, truth, miracles and the possibility that one person one young person can inspire change in her community and beyond.

Addicting!!

In the novel I am Malala written by Malala Yousafzai, I got to learn about how brave this young girl is. Previously, I wasn’t super familiar with this woman but knew she was famous for surviving a shot to the head by the Taliban. Malala was raised in a family that prioritized education, but the Taliban grew to make life in Swat Valley, especially for girls, extremely challenging. Before I purchased this novel it would have been nice to know that the majority of the book is about what life was like growing up in Pakistan, and not just about the major injury she sustained. This still wouldn’t have stopped me from reading this book again because it really puts into perspective how different life in America is, along with how fortunate we are. I would definitely recommend this book to a reader who wants to understand more about what life is like as a woman in a hostile environment. Overall, as a female reading this novel, I felt very empowered seeing how Malala could go through so much tragedy and still find the bravery to make a change in the world. This was a quick read that was very easy to become addicted to, therefore I would HIGHLY recommend it because it’s impossible to not be in awe of this strong woman.
