Beautiful and gorgeous in the best possible way. An enchanting, moving autobiographical picture book, and an immensely important revelation.
The world must know of the ordinary and unstoppable Malala Yousafzai; children from all walks of life must know of her and her goals. And her determined spirit that will never go out, no matter what.
The magic pencil is a metaphor, for drawing a better world; a world that desperately needs fixing. A pen and pencil can help change that world. As can words, a powerful voice. A voice that has much to say; that refuses to be silenced, even by the delivered threat of death. For you cannot silence the truth, much less a truth from the heart.
Every child needs an education. This includes every girl. Everyone needs someone like Malala in the world. She is one of the bravest, most inspirational people out there today. An advocate, an activist, a voice for an international movement: ever since she was a young teenager.
Never take school for granted. Malala, who loves school, who knows how easily it can be lost and barred, certainly never did.
Final Score: 5/5
