I Am Malala

How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition)

By: Malala Yousafzai, Patricia McCormick

Narrated by: Neela Vaswani, Malala Yousafzai

In this New York Times bestselling memoir, Malala Yousafzai—the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize—inspires young readers with her stunning story of resilience and power.

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 hope, truth, miracles and the possibility that one person—one young person—can inspire change in her community and beyond.

Magnificent

This was one of the very best books I have ever heard.
It contained just the amount of information, flow and details to not only inform but to elicit a desire to advocate for education and peace for everyone. Hearing Malala address the World co ngress at the end, in reciept of her Nobel Peace Prize was a treat. Malala has clearly demonstrated her power in speaking about and living social activisim,, strength and freedom.

Simply Amazing!

Everyone should read this inspiring book! If the world would follow Malala's example in standing up for their rights in a peaceful way, the world would be a better place.

AMAZING STORY

I read this with the high school English class I teach and we all loved it! It is so inspiring and shares a culture most of us have no experience understanding.

inspiring

I have wanted to read this for so long and I am very glad I did. she is very insightful and amazing, and what she says makes sense and is inspiring.

Malala Thank you for your amazing story

When I got this audio book, I balked at listening to it. I didn't want to be horrified and depressed that a stupid terrorist organization had shot a young girl. I was wrong. Malala talks about her exciting life. She struggles to go to school and beat the other girls in her class for the top spots. She fights with her brothers over the remote. Moments of horror are arrested by the strength of her kindness and sense of humor. I can see why no terrorist organization had a chance against her. Her voice and strength of heart are unbeatable.
