What reading level is Defiance Rising book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The dense, low hanging clouds allow only a fleeting glimpse of moonlight to penetrate.  The shadows blend into a gloomy, blackened void, making it nearly impossible to see five feet in front of me.  The freezing rain has shifted into small pellets of ice, bouncing off the ground around me.
I collapse against a fallen pine tree, panting.  My fingers ache from the cold, from nail bed to my palms.  A near constant shiver alerts me that I’m teetering on the verge of hypothermia.  I need to build a f
...ire, but I can’t risk it.
It has been over an hour since I heard any shouts.  The ground has remained still under my feet, but I worry what will happen if I draw attention to myself.  I know they are out there, somewhere.  I bend over and beat feeling back into my toes, stomping away the needles that prick my calves.  I can’t keep going like this.  Shelter has become a necessity I can no longer ignore.  I try to stand, sinking into the unsettled earth running the length of the log.  The soil gives way and spills into a space beyond.  Dropping to my knees, I wiggle my fingers through the small hole, listening as clumps of soil patter as it lands below.  Realizing there’s a small opening on the other side of the fallen pine tree, I throw my leg over and lower myself into the hollow below.  A layer of ice pellets blanket a small section of the space, but the thick pile of leaves and fallen pine needles covering the ground is too inviting to pass up.  I sink to my knees and brush away the snow, grateful for the evergreen canopy that covers some of the space, sheltering me from the bitter winds.  I scoop big piles of the foliage over my feet and legs to provide insulation and camouflage should anyone stumble across me in the night.  I cover my waist and much of my chest before stuffing my hands under my armpits and lean back against the dirt wall.  My teeth chatter so hard my jaw aches.  I clamp down as tight as I can and stare up through the boughs to the clouds above.  I’ve never felt so alone before, so completely isolated from my friends and my home.  I know I should be grateful to be alive, but I struggle to think beyond my fear for Eamon.  Did he make it back to camp?  Was he captured?
