A young woman is torn between her home and her dreams in Dee Garretson's Gone by Nightfall, a thrilling YA novel set during the Russian Revolution.
It's 1917, and Charlotte Mason is determined to make a life for herself in czarist Russia. When her mother dies, Charlotte is forced to put her plans to go to medical school aside to care for her unruly siblings. Then a handsome new tutor arrives. Charlotte has high hopes that he'll stay, freeing her up to follow her dreams of becoming a doctor. But there's more to Dmitri that meets the eye.
Just when she thinks she can get her life back, Russia descends into revolution and chaos. Now, not only does Charlotte need to leave Russia, she needs to get her siblings out too—and fast.
Can Charlotte flee Russia, keep her siblings safe, and uncover Dmitri's many secrets before she runs out of time?
Praise for Gone by Nightfall
A Junior Library Guild Selection
"Amid spy intrigue, coded messages, fairly improbable escapes, a budding romance, and bold derring-do, our quick-thinking, thoroughly engaging protagonist triumphs and the plot never slows. Garretson reaches beyond adventure, too, providing a haunting nuance to the horrors of war through her heroine's eyes... An action-packed, yet sobering journey into the war to end all wars." —Booklist
"This is the sort of book you want to hide in your closet and read so that no one disturbs you until you're completely finished." —Samantha Hastings, author of The Last Word

      Gr 9 Up-Set within the Russian Revolution, a young woman determined to become a doctor is faced with decisions that could alter her destiny in a flash. Following her mother's untimely death, Charlotte is charged with caring for her wild younger siblings. This derails her dreams of medical school and practicing medicine in America until a new and handsome tutor arrives-although he has many secrets of his own. Soon, Russia falls into a bloody and dangerous revolution which pushes Charlotte to flee and take her siblings with her. Can she keep herself and her family safe on the brink of war? Garretson accomplishes the impressive task of incorporating details of a dark period in Russian history in a way that is still approachable for young adult readers. While the story at times feels rushed, it adds to the chaotic nature of the tale and allows the reader to become immersed within Charlotte's mind-set. VERDICT Will be well loved by historical fiction fans; still action-packed and intriguing for reluctant readers.-Brittany McMahon, Westernport Elementary School, MD
