When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spok e out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ulti mate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary jou rney from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United N ations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful prot est and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism , of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owne r, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and o f brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition., Very Good
