* "A searing and personal portrait of a young woman who dared to
make a difference."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Although her efforts to attend school, and the subsequent attack
she endured, make for a powerful story, Yousafzai writes just as
vividly about her daily life as a child in Pakistan.... Yousafzai's
fresh, straightforward voice creates an easily read narrative that
will introduce a slew of younger readers to both her story and her
mission."--Booklist
"This is no simple redaction. With the capable assistance of
co-author McCormick, the account has been effectively rewritten
specifically for children...[I]t should pack quite a
wallop."--Kirkus Reviews
[Yousafzai's] strong voice and ideals come across on every page,
emphasizing how her surroundings and supportive family helped her
become the relevant figure she is today....--SLJ
