What reading level is The Still-Hunter book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But you cannot go ahead and do so. If it is a deer, it is one at rest; and on ground so level as this you have no chance of getting close enough. But here is a ridge on your left that runs within fifty yards of the suspicious spot. Stoop low and retrace your steps until you can get around behind that ridge without being seen, go about a hundred and fifty yards on the back side of it, then cautiously ascend and stop the instant you catch sight of the flat where the spot is.
And remember not to s...how too much of your head.
All this you do quite well. But when you come to look over the ridge there is nothing to be seen but trees and brush, through which you can see quite dis- tinctly. You have learned, however, that here is a critical point, and that there is great danger in decid- ing too quickly that there is nothing in sight. You stand 108 THE STILL-HUNTER, some fivt, minutes carefully scanning every spot in sight and studying every bush. And your patience is at last rewarded. For suddenly you see a slight move- ment and a delicate head nips off some twigs from a bush you were looking directly at a moment ago, and which you then thought you could see entirely through.
