What reading level is The Turn of the Balance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At last he hung there numb, limp, inert. In the cell it was dark and still. No sound could reach him from the outer world.
Some time — it was evening, presumably, for time was not in that cell — ^they came and let him down. A guard gave him a cup of water. He held forth his hand, groping after it ; and he could not tell when his hand touched it. The cup fell, jangled against his handcuffs ; the water was spilled, the tin cup rolled and rattled over the cement floor. And Archie wept, wild with d...isappointment. The guard, who was merciful, brought another cup and held it to Archie's lips, and he drank it eagerly, the water bubbling at his lips as it had once, years ago, when he was a baby and his mother held water to his lips to drink.
Presently Ball came and stood looking at him through the little grated wicket in the door.
"Well, Archie, how goes it?" he said. "Had enough ? Ready to go back to work ?" Archie looked at him a moment. His eyeballs, still protruding from the effects of the ducking-tub, gleamed in the light of the guard lantern.
