I am Malala : the Girl Who Stood Up for an Education
and Was Shot by the Taliban
and Was Shot by the Taliban
I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb tells
the story about a 15 year-old girl called Malala who becomes very outspoken
about the rights of girls to have and education. For her to think that makes
her a target for the taliban (a religious group that has very different ideas
about the roles of women in Pakistan
society). On Tuesday October 9 2012 she almost paid the ultimate price she was
shot in the head while riding the bus from school, a few expected her to
survive. Instead Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary
journey. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the
youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I am Malala is a
biographie of Malala Yousafzai who is a really courageous girl. I love the fact
that she is really involve in social causes even though she is risking her life
in the process.
She says in her book
that she has learned English by watching Ugly Betty on the television. She is a
great role model, reading this book makes us want to do more and help other
people. “I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This
is your second life. Don't be afraid — if you are afraid, you can't move
forward.” I found this quote very
inspiring as she has faced the worst thing that can happen in your life and she
is still not afraid.
I'd say read it !! I
was really interested in reading this, I would really recommend reading this
book because I found Malala's story very inspiring. I would advise kids not to
read this as it may be hard to understand and not very interesting for them but
for teenagers and adults this book is perfect I would rate it a 5 out of 5.

Christopher is an autistic teenager who hates being confused because all
his thoughts can easily mix up. Well, that happens when he finds his
neighbour’s dog murdered. Despite his father telling him not to put his nose in
others’ problems, 15 year old Christopher will investigate. This search will
bring unexpected changes in his life.
In my
opinion, the author made Christopher a very rich and interesting character. He
is a very clever boy "And I thought about how, for a long time, scientists
were puzzled by the fact that the sky is dark at night, even though there are
billions of stars in the universe (...) I like this fact.It is something you
can work out in your own mind."
For this reason, I got hooked by the story.
This winner of the grand children’s fiction prize books is a perfect
choice for children who love mysteries, twisted plots and even intriguing
mathematics.
