What reading level is Except the Queen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Imagine! It comes in a cold package, not still steaming from the cow. And I bought as well honey, and two loaves of bread with the last of my coins. Once I was home, I did not go outside again for fear of missing the doves. Keeping the front window open for them, I sat by the window in the single soft chair and watched the sky.
The sky. How different it looked from the window of a house than that which peeks through the green woods. Different from the great swath of sky that hangs over the meado...ws. This sky seemed squeezed between tall buildings, fitted and cut down and seamed together like one of the Queen’s formal dresses. It was neither a comfortable nor comforting sky, being an unhappy human color as gray as the buildings.
* * * BY THE THIRD DAY, I had eaten through the green leaves and the fruit and had but one cheese left, plus a full container of cold milk that I sweetened with the honey. I kept the loaves untouched, in case the birds returned.
The two females came back that night but with no news, the young male—Puff Boy—on the fifth day.
