Book Description:

Although this book has been adapted for teens, this version of Malala Yousafzai's autobiography is as poignant and engrossing as the original. It tells the story of how she bravely stood up to the Taliban to defend girls' right to go to school. It is no wonder that this amazing young woman and role model became the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

Author Biography

Yousafzai, Malala (Author)

Malala Yousafzai was born in the Swat Valley of Pakistan on July 12, 1997. In 2009, she wrote a diary for BBC using a pen name about the critical situation in Swat at that time. On October 8, 2012, she was attacked by the Taliban while returning home from school. I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban is her first book. She won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize. In 2015 she launched the #BooksNotBullets campaign on social media to pressure world leaders to invest in education rather than the military. Yousafzai asks low- and middle-income countries to commit a minimum of 20% of national budgets on education, rather than the current average of 15%.
