What reading level is On the Point a Summer Idyl book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
POIXT. 179 The great auk has bequeathed only a few big eggs, to be sold at enormous prices to oologists. The dodo is only a memory. It is quite within the bounds of possibility that our grandchildren will read with wonder of the magnificence of such crafts as the " Yetolka, " representing an outlay of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and running expenses of a hundred dollars a day.
A yacht is not so picturesque an object in the eyes of a painter as a dirty fishing-smack or a lugger with mi...ldewed sails. It is too white or too black, and too shiny and too spick and span. But a swift yacht is the perfection of locomotion, the great white sails, unspotted, belly in the wind ; the spin naker is spread, the top sails catch the hand of the wind and help to pull you along; you careen at an easy angle, you feel the caress of the affectionate waves, treacherous kisses of a lion though they be ! You pass heavy laden barks and know that those on board envy you, and in their heart of hearts regard your elegant leisure as a million times preferable to their strenuous toil.
