      Today i am going to write about this wonderful book I have been reading. It is called, "I am Malala." This book is interesting for many reasons. i love the events. I love how determined Malala is about getting an education. She has something to say, and will not rest until it is heard.
      "I am Malala," is a true story of a young girl who is living in Pakistan however is under the Taliban rule. They are saying she cannot go to school, and that she cannot do a certain number of things. The Taliban have been blowing up schools. There are also suicide bombings, and terrorists claiming its a sin to dance and watch TV. People believe these terrorists and are uniting to destroy the schools. But all Malala wants to do is get an education. Malala refused to stop her education and continued to go to her school. However, one day the Taliban stopped Malala and her friends and shot her under her eye socket, and shot her friend as well. They had to get Malala to a hospital quick. Once they did they needed to leave the contry. The family fled to Britain.
      Malala cannot return to her home country, even though she loves Swat. Swat is her heart, her soul. She claims she is lost without it. Maybe someday all around the world girls can go to schools. But until that data, we will keep fighting.
