What reading level is Stickeen book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Crossing was then comparatively easyby chipping off the sharp edge with short, careful strokes, and hitchingforward an inch or two at a time, keeping my balance with my kneespressed against the sides. The tremendous abyss on either hand Istudiously ignored. To me the edge of that blue sliver was then all theworld. But the most trying part of the adventure, after working my wayacross inch by inch and chipping another small platform, was to risefrom the safe position astride and to cut a step-lad...der in the nearlyvertical face of the wall, --chipping, climbing, holding on with feet andfingers in mere notches. At such times one's whole body is eye, andcommon skill and fortitude are replaced by power beyond our call orknowledge. Never before had I been so long under deadly strain. How Igot up that cliff I never could tell. The thing seemed to have beendone by somebody else. I never have held death in contempt, though inthe course of my explorations I have oftentimes felt that to meet one'sfate on a noble mountain, or in the heart of a glacier, would be blessedas compared with death from disease, or from some shabby lowlandaccident.
