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

challenging funny informative inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced

5.0

I read this hoping to teach it to my middle schoolers, which I did; they loved it! It's rare to get that many students to enjoy a book that they are forced to read.  There is so much to be learned from this memoir.  I learned a ton about apartheid and South African culture, and so did my students.  This is such a valuable book in that regard.  It is funny (as you'd expect from a comedian), and the young readers version manages to capture heavy content without being too dark.
