in speaking out for education. While traveling to a

speaking engagement in 2011, Malala saw a young

girl selling oranges and keeping track of what she

sold by scratching marks on a piece of paper as she

could not read or write. "I took a photo of her and

vowed I would do everything in my power to help

educate girls just like her," Malala declared.

All the publicity from her speaking engagements

had attracted attention and death threats from the

Taliban toward Malala and her father; the Taliban

still had an obvious presence in their village. As a

result, Malala no longer walked anywhere alone, and

rode a rickshaw to school and a bus home from

school. Still, she continued to attend classes every

day, up until the day she was shot. The bullet that

shot Malala went through her left eye socket and out

under her left shoulder. She was immediately taken

to the nearest hospital, but was quickly transported

by helicopter to a hospital with better facilities. On

October 15, Malala was flown to the Queen Eliza-

beth Hospital in Birmingham, England so that she

could get the extensive rehabilitation she needed.

"I Am Malala" is a book that teens and adults will

find meaningful. It offers a glimpse into the lives of

a Pakistani teenager and her family and the difficul-

ties of living in a country that is in the clutches of

extremists. It certainly will make readers a bit more

thankful for the educational opportunities we are

afforded in this country. The book demonstrates

what can happen when one small voice speaks up to

inspire change in our world.

The oldest of three children and her par-

ents' only daughter, Malala loved learning and un-

derstood the value of an education. Her parents were

champions of education for both girls and boys; her

father had allowed a number of poor children to

attend his schools for free. He often spoke out pub-

licly against the Taliban and criticized the unwilling-

ness of the Pakistani government to fight the Tali-

ban. Malala was encouraged by her parents to write

and speak in favor of education for all children and

had been interviewed by the BBC and other national

and international news organizations to promote

education for girls. In 2011 she won Pakistan's Na-

tional Youth Peace Prize and was a nominee for the

International Children's Peace Prize for her courage

News of Malala's shooting soon reached

all corners of the world. Malala became a symbol of

hope and inspiration to all who heard her sto-

ry. Since recovering, she has addressed the United

Nations, and called on the world's leaders to provide

free education to every child in the world.
