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, reimagined specifically for a younger audience and including 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 truth, hope, miracles and the possibility that one person—one young person—can inspire change in her community and beyond. Review: Remarkable Story of Courage and Activism - It would be disrespectful to discuss Malala Yousafzai’s story without first discussing her cause. Millions of children around the world are denied the right to education. Child labor, sex trafficking, war, and other major issues continue to bring about child suffering and oppression. Malala’s story should be a call to activism. This is a fight we should all join, for without education, there is no hope for peace. What happened to Malala, therefore, is important in so much as it is a reminder of the stakes. There are forces in the world seeking to oppress education, especially for women. Education is the enemy of regimes founded on terror, patriarchy, and privilege. Yet, it is an idea with no face and a billion faces. This book tells a simple, but powerful story. It begins by establishing the charmingly average life of a Pakistani family. They are like any other household. Then natural disaster hits in the form of a 7.6 earthquake and this opens the doors for Taliban extremists to broker public fear into power. The Yousafzai family finds themselves at the heart of the conflict in their hometown of Swat, and they decide it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Malala’s father leads the way, and Malala finds her first platform to tell the world of the injustices being imposed by the Taliban. She was only 10. Suddenly this ordinary girl grows into an extraordinary voice, and it nearly cost her life. The second half of this book deals with Malala’s recovery after her near death experience at the hands of the Taliban. It is even more about how she rediscovered her voice and doubled-down on her activism. I found myself inspired by her mix of humility and passionate resolve, as well as her commitment to her own education even as she became an international figure. I highly recommend this book for teens, especially American teens who, despite our own issues in terms of access and equity, often seem to take education for granted. While American education is compulsory for all, it is not guaranteed in perpetuity. The fight to ensure we can continue providing education for all of our nation’s children cannot stop. Threats of defunding, the rise of private charters, and obscene income disparity all challenge the quality of and access to our public school system. There’s a thin line between America and Pakistan, and Malala’s story is a prime example of how those lines can be crossed. Review: Undaunted courage - Great book everyone should read. Courage and optimism come shining through. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,972 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Teen & Young Adult Asian History #1 in Teen & Young Adult Social Activist Biographies #2 in Teen & Young Adult Women Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 9,516 Reviews | ## Images ![I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fqPqz8lKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remarkable Story of Courage and Activism *by J***S on July 2, 2020* It would be disrespectful to discuss Malala Yousafzai’s story without first discussing her cause.
