I Am Malala

the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
Sep 07, 2017TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Malala Yousafzai, one of my biggest heroes. She is a really influential girl who has devoted her life to advocating for women's rights and the right to freedom of expression. The book is based on how one girl stood up and changed the world for education. This book is her difficult journey autobiography. She's not letting anyone else define who she is or what she's worth. She's so far the only one has done it, it's something that everybody should also bring to heart. This book is very well authored along with its incredible tale. There was also a flow of writing from section to section. For some of the subjects mentioned, I would suggest this book to anyone over the age of 13. But because of the significance of these problems, it should be read by everyone. In many nations, both discrimination against females and absence of freedom of expression. This book has been an exciting, informative and inspiring reading overall. In this novel, her enthusiasm and bravery are really shining, making the reader feel the same way. Surely this book is a must for anyone. 5/5. @TheBookWorm of the Hamilton Public Library Teen Review Board. This book is about how one girl stood up for her dreams. She was shot by the Taliban in Pakistan for expressing her thoughts and feelings. This is a very inspirational book, and this should be read by everyone. It shows how to not be afraid of anyone sayings you have to learn to speak up. At a very young age, she was shot and the bullet was nearly right beside her brain and would have damaged it. Her family has been through hardship and sacrifice because of the destruction of other schools. Girls weren't able to attend school because of a random saying by the Taliban. And women should be covering their face. Back in Pakistan, it was very hard for Malala and her family, once shot she was brought to Birmingham for recovery and lived there from then on. Rating 5/5 - @Bookworm5755 of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library I Am Malala is not a book, but rather a reality check that tells you the bitterly sad truths of the parts of our world where unfortunately education is still a dream that has to be fought and advocated for. I have been reminded of the everyday luxuries I constantly take for granted. I am lucky to live in a country where the safety of citizens, women empowerment, education for all genders, freedom of expression, and freedom of speech are given top priority. The sentiments expressed by Malala Yousafzai gave me the realization that education and freedom are the two most precious things that can uplift any person on this planet. Star Rating: 5/5 stars - @moonlite of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library I Am Malala is one of the most interesting, in depth and heart-touching novels I have read, and considering this is a biography written by the international heroine herself, it is inspirational and life-changing as well. Malala Yousafzai’s story and change has shocked and sculpted the world as we know it and has also highlighted women and girl’s general and educational rights. So what’s her story? Malala was a young girl of fifteen in Swat, Pakistan. In a place where people feared venturing out in the streets, Malala took a stand for the education she so valued and respected; but her boldness took a sad and horrifying turn when she was shot in the bus that was taking her to school. As we now know, Malala survived that bullet and instead of allowing it to bring down her fierce and powerful voice, she took the pain and morphed it into blossoming words that planted seeds in every corner of the world. The flowers of these seeds are now in full bloom around the world, and through this book one can see the lasting effect and backstory of the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in history. - @jewelreader of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
