About this audiobook
The inspirational true story of one girl's courage to stand up for what she believes in and how she changed the world.
'Malala is an inspiration to girls and women all over the world.' - J.K. Rowling
I Am Malala tells the remarkable story of a girl who knew she wanted to change the world - and did.
Raised in the Swat Valley in Pakistan, Malala was taught to stand up for her beliefs. When terrorists took control of her region and declared girls were forbidden from going to school, Malala fought for her right to an education. And, on 9 October 2012, she nearly paid the ultimate price for her courage when she was shot on her way home from school.
No one expected her to survive.
A must-listen for anyone who believes in the power of change.
* This teen edition is a first-hand account told in Malala's own words for her generation. *
This book inspired the film HE NAMED ME MALALA, the winner of the BAFTA for Best Documentary.
Read by Neela Vaswani, 2015.

About the author
Malala Yousafzai, the educational campaigner from Swat Valley, Pakistan, came to public attention by writing for BBC Urdu about life under the Taliban. Using the pen name Gul Makai, she often spoke about her family's fight for girls' education in her community. In October 2012 Malala was targeted by the Taliban and shot while returning home from school. She survived and continues her campaign for education. In 2011, in recognition of her courage and advocacy, Malala was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize and won Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize. She is the youngest person ever to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize and has received numerous other awards, including the International Children's Peace Prize (2013), the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, and the Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award. Malala now attends the University of Oxford and continues to champion universal access to education through Malala Fund (malala.org), a non-profit organisation that invests in community-led programs and supports education advocates around the world.
