What reading level is Fairyland: a Memoir of My Father book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
WHEN I REMEMBER Dad now, I mostly remember his innocence. His sweetness. His gentle manner. He wasn’t tough. None of the tragedy he’d known—losing his wife in a car accident, feeling rejected by family and lovers—had hardened him in any way that I could tell. His hands were soft. He had pale skin and freckles. He burned easily in the sun, so he generally avoided it.
As a little girl, home from first grade and resigned to cozying up to the television for company as Dad worked on his poems and... cartoons, I developed a crush on Mr. Rogers. He was so like my dad, with his slender shoulders, brown hair, and light eyes, the careful way he removed his loafers and laced his sneakers, his gentle manner of speaking and of inviting you into his life. Every day he sang me a song and every day I answered him: “Yes, I will. I will be your neighbor.”
You could hear Nebraska whenever my father opened his mouth. His conversations were peppered with folksy sayings and examples of the dry wit he’d admired in his grandma Focht.
