Book Summary
| Trevor Noah, the funny guy who hosts The Daily Show on Comedy Central, shares his remarkable story of growing up in South Africa with a black South African mother and a white European father at a time when it was against the law for a mixed-race child to exist. But he did exist–and from the beginning, the often-misbehaved Trevor used his keen smarts and humor to navigate a harsh life under a racist government. This fascinating memoir blends drama, comedy, and tragedy to depict the day-to-day trials that turned a boy into a young man. In a country where racism barred blacks from social, educational, and economic opportunity, Trevor surmounted staggering obstacles and created a promising future for himself, thanks to his mom’s unwavering love and indomitable will. It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime not only provides a fascinating and honest perspective on South Africa’s racial history, but it will also astound and inspire young readers looking to improve their own lives. “Through the foreign, the familiar, and the funny, Born a Crime is a piercing reminder that every mad life–even yours–could end up a masterpiece.” –JASON REYNOLDS, New York Times bestselling author “His mother raised him with an imagination and showed that there were no barriers to whatever he wanted to be. Readers will find this journey through Noah’s formative years humorous and exciting.” –BOOKLIST “Startling in its honesty, humor, and humility.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS “For readers who will appreciate and understand how a parent’s love enabled Noah to become the successful man he is now.” –SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL |
