What reading level is Nine Horses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But as the winter light glared off the white river and the snowy fields, I knew that I was as motionless as a man on a couch and that the things I was gazing at— with affection, I should add— were really the ones that were doing the moving, running as fast as they could on their invisible legs in the opposite direction of the train.
The rocky ledges and trees, blue oil drums and duck blinds, water towers and flashing puddles were dashing forever from my view, launching themselves from the twigs ...of the moment into the open sky of the past.
How unfair of them, it struck me, as they persisted in their flight— evergreens and electrical towers, the swing set, a slanted fence, a tractor abandoned in a field— how unkind of them to flee from me, to forsake an admirer such as myself, a devotee of things— their biggest fan, you might say.
Had I not taken a hound’s interest in this world, tipped my hat to the first magpie, shouted up to the passing geese?
Had I not stopped enough times along the way to stare diligently into the eye of a roadside flower?
