Translated to Arabic, 'I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World', by Malala Yousafzai with Patricia McCormick. Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan transformed by terrorism, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. So she fought for her right to be educated. And on October 9, 2012, she nearly lost her life for the cause: She was shot point-blank while riding the bus on her way home from school.
