Recensioner
I picked up this book because I knew the bare bones about Malala's story, but I wanted to learn more. This book provided exactly that! For a few years now I've helped support Malala Fund in its quest to educate everyone (and especially all girls, who are historically left out of the push to educate) and I'm proud now to know more about its founder and namesake. I accidentally got the young reader version from my library, but I think I prefer that version since it feels more in line with the age Malala was at the time.… (mer)
Malala has kept me company for almost a year. She is a patient reading companion, waiting quietly as I wonder how much political turmoil one life can process. All of the names, dates, and details surrounding the upheaval that she experienced in her remote valley overwhelmed me, so I left her on the night stand for months.
But I'm a completist. If I can keep going with a book I will. And I'm glad I did. The final chapters confirm similarities noted between her story and the classic Diary of Anne Frank.
Perhaps what slowed me down is her sense of focus. Here is someone less than 18 years old who knows her calling. Education for all. I so admire this certainty. And I confess that I'm also a little envious. Not that her life was threatened for what she stands for, but that she so clearly does stand for something, something that counts, something she's ready not only to die for, but to live for. And that her father and mother support her.… (mer)

A very inspiring biography of a young woman who fought for what was right under increasing pressure and danger.

I read the book primarily because my 13 year old granddaughter just raved about it. I was waiting to borrow her copy until I saw Malala on Jon Stewart's show, at which point I ordered my own copy. Then every time she visited, my granddaughter asked if I had read it yet!
