Written in collaboration with critically acclaimed NATIONAL BOOK AWARD finalist Patricia McCormick, Malala tells her story - from her childhood in the Swat Valley to the shooting, her recovery and new life in England. She's a girl who loves cricket, gossips with her best friends, and, on the day of the shooting, nearly overslept and missed an exam. A girl who saw women suddenly banned from public, schools blown up, the Taliban seize control, and her homeland descend into a state of fear and repression. This is the story of her life, and also of her passionate belief in every child's right to education, her determination to make that a reality throughout the world, and her hope to inspire others.

Sammendrag: Malala Yousafzai fortæller i denne teen-udgave af sin selvbiografi om, hvordan hun som skolepige i Swat-dalen oplevede Talebans magtovertagelse, forbud mod pigers skolegang og sprængte skoler. Hun beskriver sin egen og familiens kamp for uddannelse, hendes offentlige taler og blogindlæg, angrebet hvor hun bliver skudt, det efterfølgende hospitalsforløb i Pakistan og Storbritannien og den nye tilværelse i England. Samtidig forklarer hun, hvorfor uddannelse til alle børn er afgørende, og hvordan hun bruger sin stemme i FN og Malala Fund til at kæmpe for pigers rettigheder globalt. Bogen giver både indblik i hverdagsliv, religion og kultur i Pakistan og i de politiske forhold, der gav Taleban magt, og den viser, hvordan et ungt menneskes mod kan skabe forandring.
