What reading level is Penelope book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having been orphaned at the age of sixteen, she was left by her penniless father to the tender mercies of the Misses Fry’s Seminary for Young Ladies in Bath, who took in the orphan as an articled pupil. Her pay was some few guineas a year, her duty to teach music to the pupils, and her lot little better than a servant’s.
Her father had been Sir James Vesey’s youngest son and had disgraced himself at an early age by marrying Penelope’s mother, a woman whose connections were considered to be vulga...r in the extreme. The sight of Augusta Harvey grinning and simpering at the wedding had been enough for Sir James to vow never to set a foot across his son’s threshold, damning all his in-laws as common. He had allowed him a meager yearly allowance and, on the death of his son, the allowance had ceased, Sir James seeming to care nothing for the orphaned Penelope.
Penelope’s mother had died of cancer when Penelope was still in her cradle. Her father, a weak and feckless man, had left Penelope to be brought up by a series of slatternly servants.
