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, 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.

Remarkable Story of Courage and Activism
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2020
Verified Purchase
It would be disrespectful to discuss Malala Yousafzai’s story without first discussing her cause. Millions of children around the world are denied the right to education. Child labor, sex trafficking, war, and other major issues continue to bring about child suffering and oppression. Malala’s story should be a call to activism. This is a fight we should all join, for without education, there is no hope for peace.

What happened to Malala, therefore, is important in so much as it is a reminder of the stakes. There are forces in the world seeking to oppress education, especially for women. Education is the enemy of regimes founded on terror, patriarchy, and privilege. Yet, it is an idea with no face and a billion faces.

This book tells a simple, but powerful story. It begins by establishing the charmingly average life of a Pakistani family. They are like any other household. Then natural disaster hits in the form of a 7.6 earthquake and this opens the doors for Taliban extremists to broker public fear into power. The Yousafzai family finds themselves at the heart of the conflict in their hometown of Swat, and they decide it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees. Malala’s father leads the way, and Malala finds her first platform to tell the world of the injustices being imposed by the Taliban. She was only 10. Suddenly this ordinary girl grows into an extraordinary voice, and it nearly cost her life.

The second half of this book deals with Malala’s recovery after her near death experience at the hands of the Taliban. It is even more about how she rediscovered her voice and doubled-down on her activism. I found myself inspired by her mix of humility and passionate resolve, as well as her commitment to her own education even as she became an international figure.

I highly recommend this book for teens, especially American teens who, despite our own issues in terms of access and equity, often seem to take education for granted. While American education is compulsory for all, it is not guaranteed in perpetuity. The fight to ensure we can continue providing education for all of our nation’s children cannot stop. Threats of defunding, the rise of private charters, and obscene income disparity all challenge the quality of and access to our public school system. There’s a thin line between America and Pakistan, and Malala’s story is a prime example of how those lines can be crossed.

Can't put it down. A must read for young girls.
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016

Malala is a Pashtun girl that lived in Mingora the largest city in Swat Valley, Pakistan. Her father started a school three years before she was born, that she attends. Every day she would observe the women that would wear burqas and gloves and not show a bit of skin, but Malala and her mother only wore head scarves. Many girls did not go to school. Some men would say “Why send a girl to school?” “She doesn’t need an education to run a house.”

One day there was a 7.6 earthquake that left northern parts of Pakistan devastated.The government was slow to arrive, but the religious islamic group came immediately led by Sufi Mohammad and his son-in-law Fazlullah. Religious leaders called Mullahs, preached it was a warning from God. They said that if they did not change their ways to Islamic Religious Law more severe punishment would come. The country was vulnerable since the earthquake made it easier for someone with bad intentions to use the country’s fear for his gain.

One day Malala was walking with her friend to school one day and a man across the street stared at them. Then one night he came with six elders to her house and told Malala’s father to close down the school. People thought it was un-Islamic for girls to go to school. The elders were supposedly on the side of Fazlullah that was running an illegal radio broadcast, which said things about who he thought was un-Islamic. Malala’s father did not listen or close the school. People were killed for not obeying Fazlullah. Police and the government could not stop him. They were not even allowed to watch television. Girls were dropping out of school everyday, because it was unsafe. Her father got a letter from the Taliban, Malala’s father replied the next day, and his full name and school address appeared in the newspaper. A friend of Malala’s father called, and said “Now many people will have the courage to speak up.” People still did not speak up. There were bombings all over, and many thousands of men from the Taliban army were fighting. Malala’s father still spoke out against the Taliban. A television crew arrived at her school and interviewed the girls. That was Malala’s chance to speak, and she did. In 2008 Swat Valley was being attacked Malala spoke to local and national TV channels, radios, and newspapers. One afternoon she heard her father on the phone talking to a friend that worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation network (BBC). They were looking for someone who could write a diary about life under the Taliban. A few girls wanted to do it, but their parents thought it was to risky. So Malala asked to do it, and her parents approved. She talked on the phone with the BBC correspondent and he suggested Malala to use a fake name. Her first entry appeared on January 3, 2009. It was on the internet for the whole world to see which was a good thing. Her next entry was about the killings. Her school was eventually shut down. Malala was very sad but her father said she would still do school at her house. The school reopened four days later. Her father wanted her to improve on her English so she watched a DVD of journalists and a TV program called Ugly Betty. The government imposed a peace deal with the Taliban but it was not working. In October 2011 Malala was nominated for the International Peace Prize Of Kids Rights. In 2012 she got a death threat from the Taliban. One of her father’s close friend was shot, but he lived. One day coming home from school on the bus they turned off the main road at the army checkpoint as usual. The bus slowed to a halt and Malala didn’t remember anything after that. She was shot.

The author’s message in this book is that it is important to stand up for what you believe in. Malala’s father was told to close down the school, but he didn’t and he also spoke out against the Taliban. Malala talked on national and local TV, radio broadcasts, and newspapers to speak up for girls education. Malala also did interviews and she was nominated for the International Peace Prize Of Kids Rights.

I give this book four stars because, it is great read. It is very interesting and it’s a book you don’t want to put down. I Am Malala is an inspiring book, because she stood up and spoke up for girls rights and education. I would recommend this book to others who like non-fiction, reality, informational stories, and biographies. I think this book is appropriate for ages 12 and up.
