What reading level is Grendel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Strangers have come, and it’s a whole new game. I kiss the ice on the frozen creeks. I press my ear to it, honoring the water that rattles below, for by water they came: the icebergs parted as if gently pushed back by enormous hands, and the ship sailed through, sea-eager, foamy-necked, white sails riding the swan-road, flying like a bird! O happy Grendel! Fifteen glorious heroes, proud in their battle dress, fat as cows!
I could feel them coming as I lay in the dark of my cave. I stirred, baffl...ed by the strange sensation, squinting into dark corners to learn the cause. It drew me as the mind of the dragon did once. It’s coming! I said. More clearly than ever I heard the muffled footsteps on the dome of the world, and even when I realized that the footsteps were nothing but the sound of my own heart, I knew more surely than before that something was coming. I got up, moved past stone icicles to the pool and the sunken door. My mother made no move to prevent me. At the pool, firesnakes shot away from me in all directions, bristling, hissing, mysteriously wrought up.
