Kudos Malala! What an amazing woman!
Simply written, an eye opener with lots of insights about what is going on from a girl’s point of view. I always wondered how people could follow fanatics who commits atrocities in the name of religion.

Talk about a reality check. This book really helped me to realize how much I take for granted in America. I can't imagine living in a world where so many things are dictated to me: how I dress, who I leave the house with, even my education.
