I liked this book quite a bit, but do almost wish I had read the adult version instead. There was a definite sense of things going on behind the curtain and I wanted to peek back there. With that said, though, this version has a great sense of voice and a focused narrative to its credit.

I have always valued my education in life, but I’ve never taken the time to step back and see what a privilege it truly is to be an educated female.

Malala has a soul of Gold, is clearly humble, strong, and determined, but the passion expressed while she is speaking of equal education is what is truly mesmerizing to the point of tears for me. She says towards the end that one voice can change the world and this has inspired me as I move forward in to university.

Malala truly is an inspiration in ever sense of the word. I look up to her and will always be proud of her and the millions of other men, woman, and children fighting for their human rights.

Biography about a girl who stood up education and was shot in the head and, amazing, survived.

Malala is an exceptional young woman. I accidentally picked up the young readers edition of her book, but I still found it inspirational and moving.

A wonderful read, this book gives a good perspective of a Pashtun girl from Pakistan and the way that the Taliban influenced their everyday life, hers most of all. It was very illuminating and beautifully written. I loved the narration provided on my Audible copy!!

I read the young adult version of this book. I loved it. It's not that well written, but the story is beautiful. So eye opening. Even though the world is so different in Pakistan, the children are the same. Malala and her friends argue over Team Edward or Team Jacob. They love Taylor Swift. Malala loves watching Ugly Betty! Such a brilliant girl from a wonderful loving family, who only wants peace and education for all.
