It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime is an adaptation of Trevor Noah’s adult memoir, specifically adapted for young adult readers. In this book, Trevor discusses his life growing up as a child of mixed race in South Africa, where it was against the law for a mixed race child to even exist. His stories will have you both laughing out loud at his childhood antics as well as crying at the atrocities he experienced. Because this book does briefly mention sex and drugs, some parents might prefer to read it ahead of time to decide if it’s right for their teen.
