What reading level is Miss Westlake's Windfall book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lady Ashmead had handed each orphan a hat, scarf, and mittens at Christmas, new shirts and aprons at Easter, all knitted and sewn by the ladies of the area. Lady Ashmead then presented a check to the superintendent and his wife, the Kirkendals, who bowed and curtsied while the children chorused, “Thank you, Lady Ashmead, and God bless you.”
Ada supposed the check went a lot further than her puny, lumpy efforts, but writing a check—or having one’s son do so—seemed a lot easier to her. When Ada co...uld, she put a ha’penny in each sock or mitten. When she couldn’t, she put in a peppermint candy.
Today she had nothing but a troublesome sack of money she was determined to get out of her house and put to good use. No one was going to claim it, she acknowledged, except sneakthiefs like the chandler’s boy, who tried to tell her that he’d lost his father’s deposit money on his way to the bank. In an apple tree? She sent him away with a flea in his ear, telling him—and everyone she knew would get wind of the tale—that the money was being held by her man of business pending its rightful owner’s return.
