What reading level is Frenchtown Summer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Arthur's kitchen,I watched his motherfeeding a blue shirtinto the wringer of the washing machine,her wrist bruised purplefrom the timesshe'd caught her arm in the wringer.All Frenchtown womenwore those purple badges.Tilting her head, she said,“He's awake now,”as if a secret soundhad reached her ears.Entering the shadowed bedroom,I saw Arthur's sunken faceas if painted on a piece of cloth,his hands moving in the air,wild birds flying,his fluttering fingersplucking at unseen harp strings.If his... hands were birds in flight,his eyes were birdstrapped in cages,swinging this way and that,unable to escape,not looking at me,or anything else in this world.He was no longer Arthur Colraine,climber of trees like Tarzan,amazing at arithmeticin Sister Gertrude's classroom,but a depraved stranger,nameless,an apparition,and I fled the bedroom,did not remember laterwhether I said “Thank you”to his mother.Running down Fifth Street,conscious of my hands,I stopped in terror—were they fluttering?—had I somehow caughtthat terrible affliction?
