What reading level is The Story of the Chinese Crisis book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A short distance beyond this is the Gate of Heavenly Peace, kept religiously closed, which guards access to the Imperial City. The Chien Men, or main street, like all its rivals in THE FALL OF PEKING. 177 Peking, is a wide thorougMare, lined on either side by rows of gaily decorated shops, each with its elaborately gilded sign, while in the road- way between are several rows of booths and stalls where every conceivable requisite is on sale. The roads are not paved. They consist merely of mother... earth, worn with cart tracks and horse and camel prints. In the summer these are covered nearly a foot deep in dust ; in wet weather they are encumbered by mud knee deep. In places, owing to the inequalities of the road, ponds form, which in wet weather form dangers to locomotion where persons who are out after dark are frequently drowned.
There are in Peking neither pavements, footways, nor drains. The sewage of the whole city, with its population of upwards of a million persons, is cast on the roadways, being utilised in the hot weather to lay the dust.
