What reading level is An Awfully Big Adventure book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was practically no wind, and the ship lay motionless on the water.
In the meanwhile, however, the gunlayer of the after gun had hit the conning tower of the submarine with his second shot, and demolished it; a deck- hand at the same time raked the remainder of the survivors off her deck with the Lewis gun. A third shot from the after twelve-pounder struck the sub- marine in the vicinity of the engine-room and dis- abled her, but she continued to carry her way until about 500 yards from th...e Prize y when she came to n standstill, slewing broadside on to her vanquisher. There were no survivors visible, and a dull red glare from internal fires showed through the rents in her hull. At the thirty-sixth round she sank stern first, four minutes after the commencement of the action.
The " panic party " in the boat were then ordered to pull over the scene of the action and search for survivors. Darkness was falling fast, but they suc- ceeded in picking up the Commander of the sub- marine, who had been knocked overboard by one of the bodies blown from the foremost gun, the Navigat- ing Warrant Officer, and a Stoker Petty Officer.
