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.”
