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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 10-up $b Thorndike Press. 521 $a Grades 4-6 $b Thorndike Press. 600 10 $a Noah, Trevor, $d 1984- 650 0 $a Comedians $x Biography. 650 0 $a Comedians $z South Africa $x Biography. 650 0 $a Television personalities $x Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20201215011644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59A618963EA311EB847B9EAF3EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
