"Dave at Night" by Gail Carson Levine follows the story of a young boy named Dave who, after the death of his mother, finds himself in a Jewish orphanage in New York City during the 1920s. Struggling with the strict rules and harsh environment of the orphanage, Dave feels lonely and out of place. However, he discovers a world of adventure and friendship in the vibrant city after dark. As he begins to form bonds with other children and navigate his new life, Dave learns valuable lessons about resilience, family, and the importance of pursuing his dreams.
