What reading level is How Angel Peterson Got His Name book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Clint is such a name, and perhaps Steve, although not necessarily Steven, and Brad, and maybe best of all Nick. You just know that somebody named Nick is going to get it all.
And then there are the other names: Harvey, maybe, and Sidney and Gary and Wesley—names that connote, well, not necessarily a loser, in fact not at all a loser, but somebody who you know is going to have to work that little bit harder to make it all happen for him.
A boy stands up in the back of a new class and says, “Hello..., my name is Harvey Hemesvedt”—not Harv, or Sid or Wes, but the whole name, Harvey— you just know that kid is going to be busy for a while.
And if a boy's last name is Orvisen, and his parents are silly or addled or just plain cruel enough to give him the first name of Orvis so he has to say, “Hello, my name is Orvis Orvisen,” they might as well just rub him with raw liver and throw him into a pit of starving wolves.
And if you take the same Orvis Orvisen and put him not in a public school but in a Catholic school, where all the boys play hockey—sometimes with live pucks if they can find a chicken or a cat—and think fighting almost to the death is a form of recreation … Well, Orvis had a tough row to hoe.
