I accidentally downloaded the audiobook of the Young Readers edition, but I still got to learn more about Malala's inspiring story and life in Pakistan with the Taliban.

Well written memoir that was perfect for 7th graders. I found it to be a great look at new cultures and the story of a brave young woman!

Perfect to give middle graders a look into the life of a Pakistani girl. It’s written with passion and is still accessible. (Simon was assigned this in 5th grade.)

Mir war erst nicht klar, dass ich hier die Jugendbuchfassung von Malala Yousafzais Biografie erwischt habe. Nach etwas Irritation habe ich aber gut ins Buch gefunden, bedingt durch ihren spannenden Werdegang einerseits und den flüssigen Schreibstil andererseits. Manchmal fehlt mir etwas mehr Kontext und Tiefe, aber insgesamt gibt diese Autobiografie einen guten ersten Einblick über das Wirken der Taliban in Pakistan, die Auswirkungen insbesondere auf Mädchen und Frauen und vor allem darüber, wie Malala sich für das Recht auf Bildung einsetzt. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch einen kurzen Abriss der Geschichte Pakistans, sowie einem Glossar.

This is the young readers version but its still full of a lot of details. Malala writes about her life in her hometown in Swat valley before and after the incident that changed her life forever.
Had on idea that the Taliban called out for her by name before the attack. She was fighting for girls education in Pakistan before she was even a teenager.
Book ends with her life in Biringham.
It is pretty clear that she knew she would be changing the world.
