'A tale of immense courage and conviction' INDEPENDENT
'She has the heart and courage of a lioness and is a true inspiration' Lorraine Kelly, THE SUN
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, 9 October 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price when she was shot in the head at point-blank range.
Malala Yousafzai's extraordinary journey has taken her from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations. She has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and is the youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I Am Malala will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.

People complain that this book is unIslamic. But, despite being a Muslim, I see nothing unIslamic in this book. Islam is not about wearing burqa, women not going to school, women not going out etc. It's about believing in one god, one belief, obeying what is told in the Quran, following iman and islam. For those, who think the book is biased and for those saying that she is not mentioning those killed by drone attacks..... She mentions the drone attacks at multiple instances.

Just finished the book and spent many sleepless nights reading it. It's a great inslight into Malala life before the shooting and what happened after. I highly recommend this book to anyone to read especially if you believe one peroson can make a difference.

It's not her words instead this book is based on her father's thoughts. 16 year old girl can't think like this. Girl who doesn't even know where Birmingham is, how can she talk like this on international politics. Utterly rubbish
