Book Summary
​
Malala Yousafzai always knew she wanted to become a doctor someday. But a new extremist group in her home country of Pakistan wanted to stop girls from going to school.

Malala knew what was important, and so she spoke out. Even after she was attacked in the street for her views, she persisted.

Learn about Malala's incredible recovery and her journey to becoming a world-famous advocate of girls' rights and education -- and the youngest ever Nobel Prize winner.

Meet Malala. Get inspired.

Praise for Malala Yousafzai


Gr 3-6–​ ​"Walsh tackles difficult subject matter, such as extremism and violence, in an age-appropriate manner...VERDICT A solid pick for middle grade readers." - School Library Journal, Brittany McMahon, Westernport Elementary School, MD
​
"In this engaging and informative book, Jenni L Walsh distills Malala Yousafzai's complicated, violent history into one that will neither scare nor intimidate young readers. It introduces the global refugee crisis and the violence that exists around the world alongside Malala's example of the difference one person can make. Walsh doesn't sugarcoat, but her book makes an excellent case for hope and working towards a better future. A wonderful resource for young girls (and boys!)." - Vivienne Woodward, Head House Books

"The book provides an excellent account of Malala's experiences appropriate for a younger audience. The book reveals Malala's emotional experiences, as well as the facts of her life and the salient aspects of her community, society and country. For younger readers, though, the book is less detailed about the more violent and extreme sexism inherent in Malala's world." - Leslie Finkel, Wellington Square Bookshop

“What an amazing book for our younger readers! Jenni L. Walsh inspires us with a fascinating telling of Malala’s powerful story of persistence! A must read for the middle grade audience.” - Kathy Morrison, Newtown Bookshop

"This inspiring book tells Malala's extraordinary story in a way that young readers will be able to identify with and understand."  - Sally, Children's Book World

Book Summary

Growing up in Hawaii, Bethany Hamilton loved to surf. But one day, she was in her favorite place, out on the waves, when a tiger shark suddenly attacked. Thirteen-year-old Bethany lost her left arm.

As she fought to recover, Bethany wondered: Would she ever surf again?

Follow Bethany as she got back on her board and fearlessly chased her surfing dreams. With the strength of her family and faith behind her, Bethany knew she could become not only a professional athlete, but a champion and a role model.

Meet Bethany. Get inspired

Praise for Bethany Hamilton

"While engaging text puts readers in the life-or-death moment, the book focuses more on Bethany’s recovery...Readers see Bethany’s ultimate test of perseverance when she competes in her first pro competition with her self-nicknamed 'Stumpy.' [An] inspirational journey." - Booklist


Gr 3-5–​ ​"... powerful, depicting the drama of Hamilton’s experiences and demonstrating the impact of her Christian faith, her mental toughness, and her family’s support." - School Library Journal​, Sarah Reid, Four County Library System, NY​
