BAKU - I am Malala recounts the early life of Malala Yousafzai, an eighteen-year-old Pakistani girl who speaks out for the country’s women and the right to education.
Her book begins in 2012, with a group of teenage girls and teachers who were chatting on their bus ride from school. The midterm finals had just finished, and in their joy, the girls started singing a Pashto song. As the school bus drove along the country road and approached the town of Mingora, two men halted the bus and then suddenly entered the vehicle. One of them pulled out a gun and asked: “Which one of you is Malala?” None of the girls spoke, some out of loyalty and others out of fear. But unintentionally, their eyes turned to Malala. That’s how the gunmen knew she was the target. The man lifted his weapon, and at point-blank range, fired four shots at Malala. The first went through her left eye socket and out under her left shoulder. As she slumped forward, the other three bullets hit the girls next to her.
As both men fled the scene, tears and screams of horror filled the space. The bus driver set course for the nearest hospital. There, the local physicians saved Malala’s life but she was still in critical danger. About a week later, she was airlifted to Birmingham in the United Kingdom, where she underwent numerous surgeries over the course of three months. A year later, Malala recovered from her injury, and with the help of journalist Christina Lamb, published her autobiography.
