I come from a country which was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday 9 October 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price. Shot in the head at point blank range while riding the bus home from school, few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in Northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize. I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, and of Malala's parents' fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. It will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world. Malala Yousafzai was ten years old when the Taliban took control of her region. They said music was a crime, women weren't allowed to go to the market and girls couldn't go to school. Malala fought for her right to be educated, and on 9 October, 2012, she was shot point-blank on her way home from school. No one expected her to survive. Now she is an international symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. This teen edition written by Malala for her peers is fully updated with new material.

Mi Historia
PREMIO NOBEL DE LA PAZ 2014. Malala Yousafzai sólo tenía diez años cuando los talibanes se apoderaron de su región. Decían que la música era pecado. Decían que las mujeres no debían ir al mercado. Decían que las niñas no debían ir al colegio. Malala creció en una pacífica región de Pakistán transformada por el terrorismo. Aprendió a defender sus convicciones y luchó por su derecho a la educación. El 9 de octubre de 2012 estuvo a punto de perder la vida por la causa: le dispararon a quemarropa en el autobús cuando volvía a casa del colegio. Nadie creía que fuera a sobrevivir. Se ha convertido en un símbolo inernacional de la protesta pacífica y es la nominada más joven de la historia para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. En esta nueva edición de sus memorias, que incluye numerosas fotos y otros materiales, escuchamos de primera mano la extraordinaria historia de una niña que, desde muy pequeña, sabía que quería cambiar el mundo... y lo hizo. La poderosa historia de Malala nos abre los ojos a otro mundo y nos impulsa a creer en la esperanza, la verdad, los milagros y la posibilidad de que una persona -una persona muy joven- puede inspirar el cambio en su comunidad y más allá.
