What reading level is Lister's Great Adventure book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The strain on the laboring engines indicated that the men held out andLister fixed his thoughts on his machinery. One could not see much, butwhile he turned the valve-wheel he listened. If a bearing got hot or abrass shook loose, he would hear the jar. An engine running as it oughtto run was like a well-tuned instrument.
He heard no discord. The heavy thud of the cross-heads, flashing betweentheir guides, beat time to the clang of the valve-gear, a pump throbbedlike a kettledrum, and something ...tinkled like a high-pitched triangle. All went well, the engines were good and _Terrier_ stubbornly forgedahead.
By and by the strain was less marked. The load was getting lighter andafter a time Lister let go the wheel and wiped his wet face. He couldstand on the platform without support, the plunges were easy andregular. Calling a man to relieve him, he went to the door.
The sea was white, but it no longer ran in crested ridges and a vaguedark line crossed the foam ahead. Sometimes part of the line vanishedand reappeared like a row of dots with broad gaps between.
