What reading level is Joan Makes History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There were all those who heaved themselves up over mountain ranges, those who trudged over stones and sand, those who were tossed from wave to wave around unfriendly coasts. They are all famous fools: the books record their privations, and their fond hopes of El Dorado in the secret interior of the land, places of bliss they would succeed in penetrating and basking in for ever after. I was there with them, and I could tell you that if they had listened to me in their blind folly, they would not ...have had the troubles they did, of which children read with awe: they would not have been swallowed up by deserts, or turned back by unscalable cliffs: they would not have fallen dead in their tracks from starvation, or been speared by men who knew trouble when they saw it. Ah, if only they had listened to that Joan, instead of making sure she was left out of those lying books of history, they would be sleeping sound in their beds now, and not skeletons being mumbled at by desert winds. Those were the flamboyant reckless ones who preferred death to obscurity, but there were others, duller ones, whose minds were not on glory, but on the solider pleasures of level acres for sheep and cows, and whose names live on in the names of potholed highways and small timid streams of water.
