What reading level is On the Island book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Big Dollag was large and extremely deaf, and for this reason she shouted when she was talking to someone as if she was speaking through a high gale, her hand held to her right ear.
She would say to Iain, “Have you heard anything new, eh?” and he would shout back that he hadn’t, and she would look at him in a disappointed manner, encased in her prison of almost total deafness.
One of her sons always sat in a corner of the kitchen, never speaking but smiling benevolently and hidden behind a green ...net which he seemed to be endlessly repairing, so that Iain thought of him as a pleasant spider who was weaving the net out of himself in some strange way.
Iain would stand in the scullery while Big Dollag poured the milk into his jug from a big red ewer and all the time she would be saying things like: “Who was that man who passed along the road yesterday? He was wearing a hat and he had an umbrella. Do you know who it was? I nearly went to speak to him but he went by too quickly.”
And Iain would stand on the stone floor impatient to be gone, for he found it very exhausting and hard on his voice to converse with Big Dollag.
