A review by jdromsky
I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Christina Lamb, Malala Yousafzai

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

Beautifully written with exquisite storytelling. The prose and cadence perfectly captures what I believe is the crux of the book: Malala was juggling being a child and growing up in a war zone with a desire to change her world and her circumstances.
