About this ebook
*Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize*
In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all. In October 2012, gunmen boarded Malala's school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder. Remarkably, Malala survived the shooting.
At a very young age, Malala Yousafzai has become a worldwide symbol of courage and hope. Her shooting has sparked a wave of solidarity across Pakistan, not to mention globally, for the right to education, freedom from terror and female emancipation.

This is good but Malala is a hypocrite who blame Hindus for problems in India but can't blame her own community for most terrorist attack. Her alone community is responsible for 90% world's problem. She don't lecture her own country for decreasing of minorities like Hindu,Sikh and Christian. She only play victim card all the time.

Superb: This book presents how Malala never gave up on her desire to go to school. It shows how parents can play a great role in children's life. In spite of living in such a conservative dreadful society of Taliban control. Malala has been gifted with a wonderful parents and a great kindness in herself.

Nicely painted picture of life in swat. A little self praising. Got a big life ahead to really show that the nobel was well deserved. All the best Malala. May God be with you.
