Malala's family rented a house with a big garden but Malala said the house " feels big and empty". All of their belongings were still in Swat. Malala started school in Birmingham. On her 16th birthday, Malala travelled to New York to address the United Nations. Malala explains in the final sentences of her book that Swat is now a calmer place but the Taliban and military are still present.
" I am Malala. The world has changed but I have not"
