I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
4.0
Malala's story is the culmination of being a fruit of an idea. Her father was passionate about education and she was his "wing-woman" and prodigy, which you can notice in this pre-nobel interview

That installed her own passion of education, but whats remarkable about her, and what made me enjoy reading the book, is her outtake on her reality. She knew it was dangerous, she knew it was sort of hopeless, but she kept demanding whats hers.
Whats more remarkable, is when you go through the parts of the book after being shot.
And you can feel her love and yearn for Pakistan, it's palpable through out the book. to the point that I did think it's a cliche!
TIP :
JUST MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP THE ADULTS VERSION, AND NOT THE CHILDREN ONE. because I've picked the children's one, and when I discovered the reality of things, thought that it won't hurt going through it, since they both carry the same message. Well, it hurts, and it hurts bad. not taking anything from the children's version, but anyone who's above 13 can go directly to the adults' one, as the children's one was re-arranged just to convey the idea ( in my opinion ) regardless of the surrounding facts.
