This illustrated adaptation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling memoir, I Am Malala, introduces readers of 7+ to the remarkable story of a teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school.
Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for her beliefs. When terrorists took control of her region and declared that girls were forbidden from going to school, Malala refused to sacrifice her education. And on 9 October 2012, she nearly paid the ultimate price for her courage when she was shot on her way home from school.
The book follows Malala's incredible journey to recovery in the aftermath of the attack, from the life-saving surgery she receives in a Birmingham hospital to her reunion with her family and their eventual relocation to England. Today Malala is a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely now than ever.

You say it's up to me to do the talking. You lean forward and your
black leather chair groans, like a living thing. Like the cow it
was before somebody killed it and turned it into a chair in a
shrink's office in a loony bin... Fifteen-year old Callie is so
withdrawn that she's not speaking to anyone - including her
therapist at Sea Pines, known to its guests as 'Sick Minds' - the
residential treatment facility where her parents and doctor send
her after discovering that she cuts herself. Her story unfolds
primarily through dramatic monologues, gradually revealing the
family turmoil that led to her self-destructive behaviour.
"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 nominee. In this Young Readers
Edition of her bestselling memoir, which 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.
