Malala Yousafzai to publish life story

Malala Yousafzai , the Pakistani school girl who was shot by the Taliban, will publish her life story later this year.

The novel, "I am Malala," will detail the 15 year old's life as an advocate for women's education.

"I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61m children who can't get an education," Yousafzai said. " I want it to be part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. It is their basic right."

The book will be published by Commonwealth, Little,Brown, and Weidenfield & Nicholson.

Ann Tahsin, the deputy publishing director for Weidenfield & Nicholson, said :

"This book will be a document to bravery, courage, and vision. Malala is so young to have experienced so much and I have no doubt that her story will be an inspiration to readers from all generations who believe in the right to education and the freedom to pursue it."
