What reading level is Caravans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For one thing, after Musa Darul the terrain became more interesting, since we were heading up the Helmand valley, which would ultimately deposit us near Kabul, a valley that few foreigners had seen. It lay west of the barren plains of Ghazni and east of the towering Koh-i-Baba mountains. No roads traversed it and for days we saw no villages and often only the barest of trails.
As we hiked, I grew to appreciate Nazrullah’s complaint about the goats of Asia, for weeks passed and we saw not a singl...e tree in what seemed otherwise almost virgin territory. Once great forests had covered these hills; there were historical records of that fact; but slowly the goats and the greed of men had denuded even the remote plateaus, leaving only rocky bleakness. I often wondered how our sheep existed as they plodded from one barren pasture to the next, but like the hungry camels, they usually found something.
In our caravan there were about two hundred Kochis, and on the march we were strung out over several miles, with camels and sheep predominant, so it was Zulfiqar’s responsibility, as inheritor of this clan, to ride constantly back and forth, supervising our progress.
