What reading level is The Desert Home book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Upon the sixth day, Cudjo went to work upon a large oak which he hadfelled and cut into lengths of about four feet each, at the beginning ofour operations. It was now somewhat dry, so as to split easily; andwith his axe and a set of wedges he attacked it. By sunset, he had apile of clap-boards beside him as large as a wagon--quite enough to`shingle' the roof of our house. During that day, I employed myself intempering the clay for chinking the walls and plastering the chimney.
"On the seventh ...day, we all rested from our labour. We did so becauseit was Sunday. We had resolved ever to keep the Sabbath. Though theeyes of men could not see us--which I fear is too often the reason forobserving the sacred day--we knew that the eye of God was upon us, evenin that remote valley.
"We rose as early as usual, and after eating our breakfast, the Biblewas brought forth, and we offered--the only sacrifice to Himacceptable--the sacrifice of our humble prayers. Mary had been busyduring the week, and our little ones were dressed out, as if for aholiday.
