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.
