What reading level is Taking Tales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The captain, not finding the first island, was about giving up thesearch, when, as I was aloft, I saw a small blue speck a long way off, just rising out of the water. I shouted out, "Land ho! Land ho!" Thefirst mate, who had charge of the deck, was soon up with me. The shipwas steered for it; it was the island we were looking for.
We anchored in a bay on the western side, the only one which affordedany shelter. The whole island was surrounded by rocks, with here andthere patches of trees and sh...rubs; but most part of it was barren. Itwould have been a sad place to be cast away on. As there was no time tobe lost, we at once went on shore under charge of the second mate, withthe carpenter and his crew, to cut clubs for killing the seals, andstakes on which to hang up their skins to dry. The second mate, MrHudson, when a lad before the mast, had been here, and knew the bestspot where the seals came on shore. It was a deep sandy bay, with rockson either side.
We went the next day to the nearest spot to the bay at which we couldland, and hauled the boats up on the beach.
