It's Trevor Noah: Born a Crime (Young Adult Edition): Stories from a South African Childhood (Adapted for Young Readers)

Trevor Noah's unlikely path from apartheid poverty to becoming one of the biggest names in comedy began with a crime: his birth.

Born to a black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison, Trevor was kept indoors for most of his early life, in hiding from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away.

Finally liberated by the fall of apartheid, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure into the dangers and opportunities of a new South Africa. Born a Crime follows the story of a mischievous boy as he grows into a restless young man, struggling to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist.
