What reading level is Jonah's Gourd Vine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
John Pearson sat restlessly in his seat. Sitting alone except for Zeke’s oldest son. Zeke had to work that day and his sister-in-law excused herself on the grounds that she “never had been to any courthouse and she didn’t want no bother with it. Courthouses were bad luck to colored people—best not to be ’round there.” Many of the people John had approached for witnesses had said the same thing. “Sho, sho,” they wanted him to win, but “you know dese white folks—de laws and de cotehouses and de ja...il houses all b’longed tuh white folks and po’ colored folks—course, Ah never done nothin’ tuh be ’rested ’bout, but—Ah’ll be prayin’ fuh yuh, Elder. You bound tuh come out more’n conquer.”
So John sat heavily in his seat and thought about that other time nearly thirty years before when he had sat handcuffed in Cy Perkins’ office in Alabama. No fiery little Lucy here, thrusting her frailty between him and trouble. No sun of love to rise upon a gray world of hate and indifference.
