Summary: Dave at Night
Review: This book is one of the best books I have read in a long time. This book is about Dave, an orphan, who is sent to the HHB (Hebrew Home for Boys, or Hell Hole for Brats as the orphans there call it,) after his father is killed in an accident and his other relatives are not able to take him in. The moment Dave arrives at the HHB, he wants to leave. He plans to run away, but then discovers his precious carving (the only thing he has that belonged to his father,) has been taken away by the dreaded Mr. Doom. So he makes a plan: he will get the carving and then run away. But as soon as Dave spends some time in the HHB, he has second thoughts about his plan. Sure, he is always freezing, the food partions are meager and disgusting, most of his teachers are boring and he gets hurt by Mr. Doom, but some good things also happen. For example, Dave develops a close bond with the other boys at the HHB, and they become "buddies." He sneaks out and meets Solly, through whom he meets the beatiful Irma Lee. He is invited to parties, where is he escorted by Solly who tells the workers at the HHB that he is Dave's grandfather. Suddenly, Dave finds himself torn between two choices. Should he stay at the HHB with all his "buddies," with his art teacher who gives him special lessons because Dave has "a gift," and where he can eat delicous food on visitors day? Or should he leave and go live in Irma Lee's basement, living a life of luxury and endless partying, but leave all his friends at the HHB behind? Read Dave at Night and you will find the answer to all these questions. Dave at Night is fast-paced and fun, and is a great read. Buy it for yourself to see!

Summary: Dave at Night ~ AWESOME
Review: This book, Dave at Night by Gail Carson Levine, was an excellent novel. My favorite character was Sully. He is a kind Gonif that helps Dave. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes an adventurous story. It is basically about a young boy Dave. Everything goes wrong in his life and he has to life in an orphanage called Hebrew Home for Boys a.k.a. Hell Hole for Brats. All he is trying do is stop the mean things that happen there and get away. That is why I would recommend Dave at Night

Summary: An original & riveting novel for young readers ages 8 to 12
Review: When his father dies, Dave finds himself placed in an orphanage (the cold and strict Hebrew Home for Boys in Harlem) far from the life he knew on the lower East Side of New York City. Outside the gates of the orphanage, Harlem is a world of jazz musicians and swindlers, exclusive parties and mystifying strangers. Inside the orphanage, Dave finds rare friendships and bitter enemies. Somewhere Dave must find a place that he can call home. Gail Levine is a talented author and Dave At Night is an original and riveting novel for young readers ages 8 to 12 and a highly recommended addition to school and community libraries.
