In Malala Yousafzai’s best-selling memoir, the Nobel Peace Prize winner retells her experiences at home and at school and discusses the impact* of the Taliban presence in Pakistan. Her strong voice and ideals come across on every page, emphasizing how her surroundings and supportive family helped her become the person she is today. She highlights the importance of school and how it was the only space where she felt empowered.

    She was only 10 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, she 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. The young readers edition of the book has been edited specifically for a younger audience and includes exclusive* photos and material. Here we hear firsthand the remarkable story of a girl who knew from a young age that she wanted to change the world — and did.

    The story will open your eyes to another world and will make you believe in hope, truth, miracles* and the possibility that one person can inspire change in her community and beyond.
