What reading level is The Night People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She must have been in her early twenties, though there was something about her boyish figure and innocent face that made her appear much younger. She was traveling with her teen-age brother, a somber youth who walked with a limp.
Her name was Liz Golden, she said, and her brother’s name was Randy. They were driving to Hopworth for a scorpion fight. Tokay had been only mildly interested until she opened the cigar box on the counter between them and he saw the four-inch-long bluish-green scorpion ...nestled in some loose sand and pebbles.
“My God!” he gasped. “That thing could kill you!”
She smiled at his ignorance. “Not really, though the sting is very painful. The Mexican Centruroides has been known to cause deaths, but this is a Hadrurus hirsutus. It’s called a Giant Hairy Hadrurus for obvious reasons.”
“And what did you say you were going to do with it?”
“In Hopworth they’re having an illegal scorpion fight tomorrow night. Scorpions only sting in self-defense, and of course the poison has no effect on members of the same species, but they can sometimes be goaded into doing battle with their pincers.”
