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.
