Author: Malala Yousafzai Genre: Biography
What this book is about: 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 book, we hear 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.
Your opinion: I personally loved the book, I loved how she stood up for herself and stood up for what she believed in. This book is so inspirational and shows how Malala's education paid off. I especially love how she writes; descriptive words enabling the audience to imagine what she went through and how she connects the words together in perfect harmony. I LOVED the book.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Who would like this book: I think readers who like reading about real-time events and about peace and calmness. This version of her book fits more for younger readers. I recommend it for grades 4th and up, while the real version has much more violence and terrorism. I recommend grades of maybe 5th and up, but really 6th and up. Overall, it was a great book and also inspirational. I gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
