Tracy Gigov asked this question about I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban:

I'm keen to buy this for my 12 year old daughter. Is it written in an accessible style for a younger (fairly advanced) reader? Just wondering if the political content or writing style might be too advanced.

The writing style itself is definitely accessible, but there's a lot of descriptions about the atrocities that took place as the Taliban took over which might well be a bit distressing for her to read. Hope that makes sense!(less)
