What reading level is Dark Places book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
‘It is all muscle,’ Father said. ‘Do not slouch, Albion, muscle is nothing to be ashamed of,’ and I said nothing, for if Father wished to have a son of muscle, I would do my best to please him.
I knew I was a disappointment to Father. He was a man of unbending lip, his fob-watch never far from his hand: stern reminders of how I must one day fill his shoes were never far from his lips, although he made no secret of his inability to imagine me doing so.
‘Albion,’ my father said, ‘you must never fo...rget that God is watching you. You are never unobserved.’ Every tree, every fence and ditch, every soft sky above darkened houses, watched. God and layabouts watched from every corner. I was Albion Gidley Singer, son of George Augustus Singer, and had a position to maintain under so many eyes.
But who was Albion Gidley Singer?
He was a boy who learned early on how to tie his own bootlaces and not to cry when he spilled his milk. He was a boy who was always big for his age, a boy who had learned to call his father Sir, and his mother Mama, he was a boy who stood when any of his elders entered the room, who doffed his cap when speaking to a lady, who learned how to conceal the various sounds and discharges of his body, and to lie down with a camphor cloth when the asthma came on; he was a boy who learned to say thank you to servants in just the right way, and to put the sixpence in the plate at Communion, and say his prayers for the poor people.
