“Rue L'Hommedieu's Because of the Night is a must-read for children and young adults who wish they belonged to another family rather than their own. The plot is straightforward and narrated from a child's point of view, and her innocence is endearing. The author reminds readers how to think and act like a child again to reclaim their innocence. As we follow the impulsive and unpredictable Icky in her quest to find her true family, we learn important lessons along the way. The element of mystery makes the story more interesting. This is a novel that you can read to children so that they will think twice about leaving home because, despite differences, their family is the one where they truly belong!"
