What reading level is Shadow On the Land book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Young men in uniform crawled though ditches and slithered over stone walls as if these impediments were of as little moment as the cushions and pillows which Emily and her friends spread out on the floor of the Recreation Hall at Millbrook, to provide an obstacle race for lonely college boys, the temporary steeds of excited children already looking forward to the tea and cookies which would follow their games and races.These were not the same young men who had played rounders and given jeep ride...s along the beach at Newcastle when Major Chris Hicks first enlisted Emily’s help. Those young men, now trained to bridge gorges, mend tanks, throw up defensive works and support the fighting men had been despatched to North Africa with the Winnipeg Rifles, one more of the many groups to be seen tramping the roads round Banbridge developing stamina between bouts of practice on the rifle ranges and assault courses. Their departure one chill, misty afternoon had brought Banbridge to a standstill and struck a blow to Emily’s good spirits in a month she had always dreaded, the month in which her own mother had died after a long illness, the chill and misty weeks when, year after year, all her bright plans seemed to fade with the dankness of the weather and her energy to ebb away in sympathy with the shrivelling of the daylight hours.‘I’m afraid it’s champ again tonight, Alex,’ she began apologetically as he came into the kitchen, wisps of cold moisture clinging to his dungarees.
