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!

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.

The strength, passion, bravery, and determination this young girl has is truly inspirational. She knew speaking up and continuing her education could get her killed by the Taliban, yet she did it anyway. Her compassion for others continued after the assassination attempt, as she was more concerned for how her family would be affected financially than for her own wellbeing. And after all she went through, she continues her activism today for the right for all boys and girls to be educated. She definitely deserved the honor of winning the Nobel Peace Prize and I’m very glad her acceptance speech was included at the end of the book. There is no telling the difference this young lady will make in the world.
If you are in need of a little inspiration….read or listen to this book.
