What reading level is The Adirondacks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not difficult to see why he should have at- tracted a clientele. He was an expert guide ; his holdings ran with game; his wife saw to it that there was enough of the best to eat. It is diffi- cult to see, however, why a man like that, easy- going, good-natured, not too hospitable to the un- companionable virtues, should escape from being "done." Many a rich man formed the habit of going into Paul Smith's for a little hunting. But nobody got the better of him in transactions. He took optio...ns on desirable lands before the capital- ists were quite sure that they were desirable. He bought the water powers on the Saranac River before it was rated anything more than a stream to fish in. He gathered the leading guides about him, and his abilities over the learned and un- learned alike made him a trifle impatient with the world of books, arts, and universities.
