I come from a country created at midnight. When I was about to die, it was noon...

When the Taliban seized power in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, a girl stood up against them. Malala Yousafzai refused the imposed silence and fought for her right to education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, at the age of fifteen, Malala was shot in the head at close range while riding a school bus, and few believed she would survive.

However, Malala's miraculous recovery led her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations building in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in the history of the award.

I Am Malala is the remarkable story of a family uprooted by terrorism, the story of the fight for girls' education, the story of a father who - as a school owner himself - struggled and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school; it is, ultimately, the story of a brave girl with two parents who passionately love their daughter in a society that shows a clear preference for sons.

The book that will make us all truly believe that today the voice of a single person can inspire and change the entire world.
