Description from Goodreads: "When the Taliban took
control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala
Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an
education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she
almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank
range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to
survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on
an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to
the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a
global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the
Nobel Peace Prize."
