What reading level is October Light book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old man had no guards on; he claimed the bees knew him. It was true enough that he rarely got stung, and maybe they did know his smell, his endless mutterings to them, all his troubles and all the world’s troubles. On a wooden tray near his feet he had bottles of sugar-water. He stood hunched over, arms covered with bees like living gloves, drawing out the combs, replacing them with sugar-water, then corking up the hives. The hives were dingy, cocked left and right by years of ground-swell; ...they reminded you some of old tombstones.
“Winterin the bees then, are ye?” he said.
“Ay-uh,” the old man said, not looking up.
“Seems eahly,” Lewis said. “Last year it want till November ye sealed up the hives.”
The old man worked on, apparently assuming the remark required no comment.
“Ye think it’ll be an eahly winter, then?”
James nodded. After a time: “Oak-appleth theem to think tho. Woolly-bearth too.” He added, after a little thought: “My Dad uthe to thay, ‘Only the Good Lord knowth about the weather, and therth timeth when I wonder if even He ith real thertain.’”
