Description
Dave at Night by Gail Carson Levine During the 1920s, Dave is 11 years old. After his father dies, he must cope with being abandoned by his terrible stepmother, who doesn't feel like taking care of him anymore. She leaves him at the Hebrew Home for Boys--a dark, chilling place where the superintendent thinks that the boys in the home are worthless human beings. Dave's only solace is sneaking out at night, when he meets plenty of loving, caring people that like him, too. Together, they just might make it through the tough times.
