What reading level is Magic City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Run, nigger, run. The slave catcher come. No refuge—no home. He’d seen Emmaline, Mother, Hildy hauled away on a truck. Father was dead.
Sun going down. Slave catcher come. Nigger run faster.
No place to go but Lena’s. No place to be except the riverbed. He’d bury his grief, his mourning. Bury his memories of Greenwood afire. Bury the money box. Bury himself until the looters and guardsmen were gone. Thought gone. Feeling gone. Bury himself until the moon glowed yellow and it was time to board th...e train to glory.
Breathing hard, Joe slipped down the embankment. He knew just where to go. Beyond Gabe’s shack, under the willow where the river curved, there was a depression where silt gave way and the bottom dropped. Not deep, but deep enough to hide the money and himself. The sun was half in, half out the earth. He ignored Ambrose’s fields across the river, the seesawing knell of oil rigs, and focused on stones, the dry earth, memories of him and Henry searching for Lena’s bones.
