Fionnula Enright asked Gail Carson Levine:

how did you come up with Dave by night it is so different from the other books I've read by you?

Gail Carson Levine DAVE AT NIGHT is very loosely based on my father's orphaned childhood in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum in New York City. He never talked about it, so after he died I wrote the book to satisfy myself about what might have happened to him.
