About This Book

Comedian Trevor Noah tells stories of himself as a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. Whether being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping or just trying to survive the pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty.

His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.
