What reading level is Heather And Snow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Heavens! were their guns already spiked? If so, all was lost!--But itwas daylight! He had overslept himself! He ought to have been with hismen--how long ago he could not tell, for the first shot had taken hiswatch. A third came and broke his sword, carrying the hilt of itthrough the wall on which it hung. Not a sound, not a murmur reachedhim from the fortifications. Could the garrison be gone? Was the hourpast? Had no one missed him? Certainly no one had called him! He rushedinto the compound. ...Not a creature was there! He was alone--one Englishofficer amid a revolted army of hating Indians!
But they did not yet know that their prey had slid from their grasp, for they were going on with their usual gun-reveille, instead ofrushing on flank and rear of the retreating column! He might yet eludethem and overtake the garrison! Half-dazed, he hurried for the gate bywhich they were to leave the city. Not a live thing save two starveddogs did he meet on his way. One of them ran from him; the other wouldhave followed him, but a ball struck the ground between them, raising acloud of dust, and he saw no more of the dog.
