What reading level is The Killing of Katie Steelstock book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The son of Mr. Baxter, the lock keeper, came bursting into the cottage at eight o’clock that morning and was sharply told by his mother to remove his Wellingtons and comb his hair or he wouldn’t get any breakfast.
Ignoring these suggestions as being frivolous or unimportant, he dropped his fishing rod on the floor, said, “Where’s Dad? Oh, there he is,” and pelted out into the garden. Mrs. Baxter shook her head sadly.
“A corpus, is it?” said Mr. Baxter. “Then we’d better have’un out, hadn’t we?”
...“Can I help?”
“I don’t think your ma would like that.”
“It’s not fair. I saw him. In the reeds, this side of the weir.”
“Well,” said Mr. Baxter, who was as weak-minded as his wife with their only son. “Mind you scrub up well afterwards.”
The body was lying on its back. Mr. Baxter, who had seen many corpses in his time, looked at it critically. “Not been in more’n a few days,” he said. “But what’s that holding him up in front?”
His son, at the last moment, felt a distaste for the thing.
