Tatt i betraktning at jeg deltar i POC Reading Challenge og jeg hadde I am Malala av Malala Yousafzai med Christina Lamb i bokhylla, endte jeg opp med å lese den. Nå kommer omtalen.

Beskrivelse fra Goodreads
I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.
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-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

Mine tanker om boka
Selv om det er en del historiske fakta om Pakistan i boka, er den allikevel verdt lesinga, tatt i betraktning et av hovedtemaene; kvinners rett til utdannelse (noe mange i vesten tar for gitt).
