I am Malala

More about the book

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.
