I Am Malala by Malala Youzafzai
Review
“The touching story will not only inform you of changing conditions in Pakistan, but inspire your rebellious spirit.”―Matthew Love, Time Out New York
“Ms. Yousafzai has single-handedly turned the issue of the right of girls-and all children-to be educated into headline news. And she is a figure worth hearing.”―Isabel Berwick, The Financial Times
“Wise beyond her years….”―Annie Gowen, Marie Claire
“Riveting…. Co-written with Christina Lamb, a veteran British journalist who has an evident passion for Pakistan and can render its complicated history with pristine clarity, this is a book that should be read not only for its vivid drama but for its urgent message about the untapped power of girls…. It is difficult to imagine a chronicle of a war more moving, apart from perhaps the diary of Anne Frank. With the essential difference that we lost that girl, and by some miracle, we still have this one.”―Marie Arana, Washington Post
“Remarkable…a must-read, first-person account of her journey through global terrorism, her brave, encouraging parents, and her own fight for girls’ education.”―MarieClaire.com
“The victory of Malala Yousafzai is that she’s just getting started.”―Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon
“Briskly written but full of arresting detail…. Striking [and] surprising…”―Jill Lawless, Associated Press
“Ms. Yousafzai’s stature as a symbol of peace and bravery has been established across the world…”―Salman Masood, The New York Times
“Not only has Malala Yousafzai become an international symbol of inspiration and bravery, but her survival instilled educators with courage-and is slowly helping make Pakistani schools safer.”―Nick Schifrin, ABC.com
“For a teenage girl in a distant corner of the globe to spark life into this movement-against overwhelming odds-is truly extraordinary. The world must not allow Malala’s message to die.”―Dallas Morning News
