“A remarkably intimate and insistently human chronicle of a moral authority’s coming of age.”
—The New York Times

“Finding My Way reveals the person beyond the symbol. It's the story of a young Malala learning the bounds of what it means to be a free woman—trying on jeans for the first time, falling in love, failing exams and confronting the trauma of a shooting that for a long time she had no memory of.”
—NPR

“An earnest, charming, and empathetic memoir from a woman as determined as her younger self. . . .

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Finding My Way sees Malala wresting back the story of her own life – rejecting the constrictions and contradictions of a sheltered childhood and sudden fame.”

“Part coming-of-age memoir, part reclamation, [Finding My Way is] a portrait of a woman who has learned that courage isn’t just about defying extremists, but also about allowing yourself to be ordinary.”

“A coming-of-age tale as relatable as it is extraordinary.”
—W Magazine

“Through vulnerable, funny, and deeply touching writing, Malala lets us in on that messy, complicated, and still joyful process.”
—Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club
