What reading level is Hawaiian Sketches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Feathers were they, gray and white, such as never grew upon the birds that fly within the forests or float upon the sea.
" The King took the strangers to his royal 61 Hale and gave them food and drink. There was a woman with them, the wife of their great chief. She appeared like a prophetess, only young. Her skin was pale as is the white sea foam. Her dark eyes seemed to gaze afar off, and her smile w r as like the flash of the sun upon the sea. When Ilua saw her he desired her for himself, and... his women be- came as nothing in his eyes. Therefore Hua urged the red men to make their home near his Hale and they should be aliis in the land, though the priest, Luahomoe, warned the king that their coming would cast a shadow on his life. But the strangers would not dwell with the king nor with his people, but made their home far up on the slope of Haleakala, where the gray clouds ever hang and the white rain falls silently to the ground.
" Sometimes when the feather hunters sought the mamo and the oo upon the moun- tains, they would see a figure of one of these men standing on the highest mountain peak against the black clouds as though carved of 62 stone, then suddenly he would raise his arms towards the sky and a cry would come quick as a javelin piercing to the heart, or they would hear a rustling 1 in the ferns and see a shape like a red moo moving through the green, hut whence it came or whither it went they could never tell.
