What reading level is The Age of Miracles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It was 1970, early summer near the arctic circle, twenty-two hours of daylight per day. He was a fisherman who had come to Alaska from Norway three decades earlier and had become a legend along a certain stretch of coastline, renowned for his ability to predict where the salmon ran thickest as they spawned. He lived alone on a tiny island a few miles off the coast. He was frugal. He slept in a one-room cabin with no electricity or running water, and he buried the money he made in a secret locati...on on the island. My grandfather spent two salmon seasons working for this uncle, and for decades afterward, my grandfather kept a small photograph of him, dressed in waders and a black knit cap, a tangled net draped over thick knuckles.
One day this uncle set out alone on his fishing boat. It was a short trip from the port to the island. The sky was clear. The sea was calm. He was never seen again.
“It was June,” my grandfather used to say, as if he’d been there on that day. By 1970 my grandfather was living in California again, but whenever he told this story, he made a sweeping gesture with the palm of his hand to indicate the flatness of the ocean on the day his uncle vanished.

ok, this is the best book i've ever read. im not joking. it shows all the stupid shit that you care about when youre 11, but the world keeps turning. or not. it shows a sense of helplessness, and its so beutiful. its largley ignored, but only because people do not want to acknowlage the fear and reality in this kids book.
