In 2009 Malala Yousafszai began writing an anonymous blog for BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school.
When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in Pakistani and international media, campaigning for the freedom of education for all.
On 9 October 2012 Malala was shot at point-blank range by a member of the Taliban whilst on the school bus. Remarkably, she survived the shooting.
In April 2013, Time magazine named Malala as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. I Am Malala will tell the inspiring story of a schoolgirl who, determined not to be intimidated by extremists, faced the Taliban with immense courage.
