For this book club, we will be using the book I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb. You can purchase it in digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. It is also available at many local libraries.

Additionally, you will need The Norton Sampler: Seventh Edition edited by Thomas Cooley. The essays are different in each edition so you will need the 7th edition for this course.

To complete the grammar exercises you will need Barron's E-Z Grammar by Dan Mulvey.

You will also need a notebook or binder for your notes, vocabulary, and writing.

Note to the Parent:

This memoir recounts real-life events, including political violence, threats, and the shooting of Malala Yousafzai. There are a few references to sexual content in the context of societal inequalities. While not graphic, the violence and mature subject matter may be intense for some readers. Recommended for thoughtful discussion with students.

I recommend this course for high school-age children and older. As with any children's resource, please refer to trusted sources for reviews before reading. For your reference, we have linked Common Sense Media's review.
