She grew up in a world where women were supposed to be quiet. But Malala Yousafzai refused to be silent. She defied the Taliban's rules, spoke out for education for every girl, and was almost killed for her beliefs. This powerful true story of how one brave girl named Malala changed the world proves that one person really can make a difference.
Older readers can hear Malala's story in her own words in her memoir I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education And Was Shot by the Taliban (age 14 and up), or in the youth edition (age 10 and up).
