“I Am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb‚ is my favorite book of the year. It is Malala Yousafzai’s autobiography.

There was once a time when I escaped the hustles of the world. I found myself walking alone in a dark and lonely street. Trash was scattered everywhere and the street was filled with rats. I was deeply moved and saddened by the frightful sight. While I was walking down the street‚ I saw a boy.
