What reading level is One Summer: America, 1927 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whatever the cost, Fordlandia would be dedicated to American laws, culture, and values—an outpost of Protestant ideals in the middle of a hot, godless jungle.
Beyond and around the town would lie the greatest agricultural operation on the planet. Blakeley was not just to plant and nurture forests of towering rubber trees but also to find industrial uses for all the other fruits of the jungle. Fordlandia would produce paints, fertilizers, medicines, and other useful compounds from the leaves and... bark and gummy resins of its dense and productive plant life.
Blakeley had no skills or experience that would allow him to achieve any of this. He was little more than an uneducated thug. Long before he got his first sight of the land he was to manage, he was already proving himself an embarrassment to civilized values. Settling temporarily in the port city of Belém, six days downriver from the site of Fordlandia, he took a suite overlooking the main plaza in the Hotel Grande. There he horrified the locals by walking around naked and making love to his wife with the shutters open in full view of citizens out for their evening constitutionals.
