What reading level is Jimmie Higgins book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where the apple-tree had beenthere was nothing; where the lawn had been there was a pitch down ahill, and where the house had been was a huge valley, seeming in thedarkness a bottomless abyss!
VI Jimmie was distracted. He grabbed the lantern from the other man, and ran this way and that, looking for some of the familiarlandmarks of his home--the chicken-house, the pig-sty, the backfence with the broken elm tree in the corner, the railroad beyond. He could not believe that he had come to the pla...ce at all--he couldnot credit the reality of such nightmare sights as his eyes reportedto him. He rushed about, stumbling over mountains of upheaved browndirt, sliding down into craters that were filled with a strange, penetrating odour which caused his eyes to smart; and thenclambering out again and running after men with lanterns, shoutingquestions at them and not waiting for an answer. It seemed to himthat if he ran just a little farther he must surely find the houseand the other things he was looking for; but he found nothing butmore craters and more mountains of dirt; and little by little thehorrible truth became clear to him, that all the way down therailroad track, as far as he could see or run, this gigantic troughextended, a valley of raw dirt with mountains on each side, crownedhere and there with wheels and axles and iron trucks of blown-upfreight-cars, and filled in the bottom with the deadly fumes oftrinitrotoluol!
