What reading level is News From the Duchy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His father did not evenpretend: the mass of little bones in it cheated his appetite andspoiled his temper. From this, young John went on to consider. "Was it worth while to go on killing wrens and shamming an appetitefor them, only because a wren had once informed against St. Stephen?How were _these_ wrens guilty? And, anyway, how were the titlarksguilty?" Young John reasoned it out in this simple fashion. He cameto the Main-Stone, and seating himself on the turf, leaned his backagainst one of ...the blocks which support the huge monolith. He satthere for a long while, puckering his brows, his gun idle beside him. At last he said to himself, but firmly and aloud: "Parson and the rest say 'tis true. But I can't believe it, andsomething inside says 'tis wrong. . . . There! I won't shoot anotherbird--and that settles it!" "Halleluia!" said a tiny voice somewhere above him.
The voice, though' tiny, was shrill and positive. Young Johnrecognised, and yet did not recognise it. He stared up at the wallof the old mine-house from which it had seemed to speak, but he couldsee no one.
