What reading level is The Sylvan Year ; the Unknown River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was all that could be seen of it from Voudenay. It was very narrow, and wilful and swift, and it hurried away into the black wood as if it had some deadly unavowable work to do there, somebody to stifle and drown in the awful shade of the forest.
What would this adventure bring me to .' No man knew the river, no man had ever known it. Its course was full of dangers. A thousand strong boughs were waiting for me, stretching their gnarled and knotty arms across the stream. There were festoons... of briers and thorns, there were deep black pools hidden under the intricate branches, there were roots in the river, and An Etcher s Voyage of Discovery. 269 lower down I had to expect sharp rocks also. But could I not swim ? Yes, in water, but not amongst stones and snags. Better the angry waves of the ocean, than these treacherous, suffocating snares !
There was just so much of apprehension as sufficed to give interest to the adventure. It amounted to a cer- tainty that I should be upset (probably more than once), and have to struggle for dear life, but it was not so certain that I should struggle for it unsuccessfully.
