What reading level is Una Mary the Inner Life of a Child book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a |&thetic little Una Mary with a bruised and battered brain and heart who came back from that struggle in the Downs, came back to a world of people she knew but all of whom had changed, seen through this murky veil of new suspicion. Were their inner selves black and wicked, too?
Mamma said my friend was ill, and he did not appear until the next day, when he came down looking pale and shaky. As soon as he saw me he at once came to where I stood and stooped over to kiss me. Instinctively ...I put up both hands to shield my face and rushed away from him crying as if my heart were broken, for suddenly I knew that I should die if he touched me. I could not, could not bear it, for I felt it would be not the man he seemed but that other repulsive creature I had seen who would really be the one who kissed me. The fierce, relentless cruelty of children! In a flash the man understood me. It cut him to the quick, but he never drank again that summer and he never tried again to kiss me, and while I avoided SUMMERS BY THE SEA 147 him I suffered inexpressibly, and still suffer, for each time I see a drunken man that old horror comes over me and that terrible question, \V\at is his real self?
