Synopsis:
A chapter book edition of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling story of courageously standing up for girls' education.
Malala's memoir of a remarkable teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school is now abridged and adapted for chapter book readers. Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely than ever.
In this edition, Malala tells her story in clear, accessible language perfect for children who are too old for Malala's Magic Pencil and too young for the memoir. Featuring line art and simplified back matter, Malala teaches a new audience the value of speaking out against intolerance and hate: an inspiring message of hope in Malala's own words.

My Thoughts:
This is the abridged version of Malala's full-length memoir. It's geared toward young readers and is very concise and educational as well as eye-opening. This gorgeous new edition will help bring Malala's shocking true story to younger generations all over the world.
While it is a sobering story, it is still very hopeful and inspiring. Malala was an incredibly courageous young girl who used her education and voice to help others go to school and to speak for girls when their right to education was being denied.
Now she uses her voice and infamy to get her story out into the world; to spread knowledge, tolerance, and equality.
Includes a glossary, pronunciation guide, and a timeline of Malala's life.
