Born a Crime

Stories From a South African Childhood
Dec 02, 2020pacl_teens rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Many have heard of the Daily Show with Trevor Noah, an African comedian. However, few know about what goes behind his work, his story, his background. Noah's coming of age memoir talks about what it was like to grow up in South Africa as a mixed child. Behind his remarkable success lies abuse, bullying, violence, and poverty. As the son of a white father and a black mother, he could never fit in. He describes his heartbreaking story with sprinkles of humor and laughter, and I would highly recommend this book for a variety of audiences. Through relatable, tragic, and hilarious moments, Noah tells an amazing tale. -Olivia, Grade 10
