Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, Malala&#8217;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 nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n<p>I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person&#8217;s voice to inspire change in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00CH3DBNQ\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00CH3DBNQ&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=kindle052-20\" target=\"_blank\">Start reading &#8220;I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai&#8221; on your Kindle in under a minute.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t have a Kindle? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005CRQ4GU\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005CRQ4GU\" target=\"_blank\">Get your Kindle here<\/a> or read books on your computer or other mobile devices with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html\/?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;docId=1000493771&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\" target=\"_blank\">FREE Kindle Reading Apps<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00A7EPCY8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00A7EPCY8\" target=\"_blank\">. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=kindle052-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as4&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;asins=B00CH3DBNQ\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I Am Malala<br \/>\nMalala Yousafzai (Author) | Christina Lamb (Contributor)<br \/>\nISBN: 978-0316322409<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodbookstoday.com\/authorservices\" target=\"_blank\">AUTHORS<br \/>\n(Sign up to be our &#8220;Book of the Week&#8221;)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/?page_id=224\" target=\"_blank\">GBT Gift Card Giveaway<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Earn 10 bonus chances to win 1 of 7 gift cards!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Just leave a comment below saying what you think of this book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_button\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a name=\"fcbk_share\"\thref=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GBT-Kindle-Book-Club\/297949073623302\"\ttarget=\"blank\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-button-plugin\/img\/standart-facebook-ico.jpg\" alt=\"Fb-Button\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"fcbk_like\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=224313110927811&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<fb:like href=\"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/i-am-malala-the-girl-who-stood-up-for-education-and-was-shot-by-the-taliban\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"\"><\/fb:like>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GBT Book of the Week: I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban Malala Yousafzai (Author) | Christina Lamb (Contributor) ( 17+ Reviews ) When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out.
