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.

This book is amazing! It is about a girl who stood up far what she believed in. Sadly, she was shot on her way home from school but survived, and is still speaking today. It starts in times right before a terrorist group called the Taliban, to almost present day. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book is so inspiring, I did a book project on it. You really can't tell what Malala is going to do next, but everything she does is peaceful and amazing. She is so awesome and she won the Nobel Peace Prize. It's a true story. I LOVE IT!
