What reading level is The Smiling Hill-Top book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I never had had as much asparagus as I really wantedbefore. I wore an old smock and a disreputable hat, and I pruned and dugin my garden till I was tired, and then I lay on the terrace and watchedthe waves endlessly gather and glide and spread. Counting sheep jumpingover a wall is nothing to compare with waves for soothing rasped nerves.
My first solitary day was so clear that the Pasadena Mountains, as wecall that part of the Sierra Madre, rose soft over the water on the farhorizon, so that I ...couldn't feel lonely with home in sight. Long unusedmuscles expostulated with me, but smoothed-out nerves more than balancedtheir twinges. Of course I couldn't forget the war. Who could, especially with flocks of aeroplanes flying over me as I lay on a chaiselongue on the terrace, listening to the big guns of Camp Kearny roaringbehind the hills; but it no longer gave me the sensation of sand-paperin my feelings. I thought about it all more calmly and realized a littleof what it is doing to us Americans--to our souls!--that is worth theprice; and in addition, how much it is teaching us of economy, conservation, and efficiency, as well as more spiritual things.
