I like that this book exists, as I think there need to be good Malala books for upper elementary. However, because it is an abridgment of the longer book, to me it was a bit choppy. I also thought it doesn't really give enough context to the storytelling, so it doesn't flow as well as the teen version and it might be confusing for younger audiences. In general, I feel positive about it, but I wish it felt a little more cohesive. ( )

This story shares the story of Malala --- a young girl who refused to stay quiet and accept the ongoing corruption. When she found out that she would no longer be allowed to go to school and be educated, she risked her life to keep that right. She spoke up against discrimination and continues to speak up for the education of girls and young women. ( )
