My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a very interesting biography of the young Pakistani girl who was attacked for standing up for something she and her family believed in--the freedom for girls to go to school. This may not sound that interesting for most middle school students, who sometimes think that school is boring, and cuts into their time on Facebook or YouTube. But for Malala, it was a major issue, because she lived in a place where the Taliban ruled, and they actually tried to assassinate her as she was coming home from school. The book is filled with lots of photos, and many sidebars with some good information on Pakistan, rights for girls, and what life is like in a typical town in Pakistan.
