What reading level is The Boy in His Winter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the time, I had no knowledge of this brand of smuggling by water or of the vernacular favored by an outlaw economy flourishing in the twenty-first century. I was thirteen, remember. A boy who’d been floating through life—his life, at a safe distance from current events.
In the 1830s, I might have joined a band of roughnecks to smuggle Caribbean rum or slaves into the Missouri Territory. (The word trafficking was unknown.) I’d have done it for fun and so would Tom Sawyer; we were the product o...f our time and saw no harm in strong drink or in the ownership of other human beings. You’d be wrong to judge the boy I was then by the standards of the present age—and this you should know, too: I wasn’t the innocent people have made me out to be. That’s Twain’s doing: His Huckleberry Finn might have had a kernel of goodness. People say so. But I’d have been embarrassed to think I had a spark of decency. No boy wants to be thought of as good. The world and especially girls find bad boys attractive.
