What reading level is Off to the Antipodes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We preferred his voice to Schipa's because it had a natural, sweet quality, while Schipa forced his tones to such a pitch that it was no longer music, but just a big noise.
The next day the Captain showed us how the ship's machinery worked from the bridge. Although it is very complicated, the ship seems to run itself, for a mere boy sets the wheel at a certain number, lashes it to a post, and then goes fishing. This actually did happen for we ran into a whale, split it in two, and the great shi...p had to stop and back away from it ! Too bad we couldn't lasso him and get his valuable load of ambergris. It was a thrilling moment because, of course, no one knew 31 what was happening, as we stopped suddenly in mid- ocean.
A beautiful sight at sea is when passing a sister ship at night, beautifully illuminated, as ours is also, for them, the only two signs of life in all the vast emptiness.
Another thrill is when the ship's horn sounds for crossing the equator; we all rushed out to see it, but see only the endless, restless sea as silent as eternity as in- different as fate.
