What reading level is Over the Summer Sea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the evening was rapidly changing to night, In the wake of the Empress the foam gleamed more white, And a dull yellow star now lifted, now sank In the swirl of the waves 'neath the rudder. The clank Of the chain grew more ghostly, the faint cloud of spray Rose up like a spirit — the horizon was gray, East, west, north and south, though the day had been clear, And the stars shone but faintly ; the fog-banks were near.
The mermaids are holding in deepest sea-caves A holiday revel, and o'er th...e dark waves The stars and the rockets sent up from below Are flashing and bursting, and colored lights glow For a moment, then pale in the great surface-gloom.
Say, was that the stroke of the screw, or the boom Of the reveller's cannon, that dull heavy sound?
In the roar of the waters its echo is drowned.
Like a finely cut lens is the stillness of night.
What seemed of no moment when viewed in the light Deep darkness reveals to the awe-stricken soul To be instinct with beauty or horror, the whole Being governed by laws unchanging, defined.
