What reading level is The Burning of Chelsea book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those who did were surrounded on all sides by the flames, and for hours they crouched be- hind tombs, fighting the burning embers and gasping for breath. 61 THE BURNING OF CHELSEA The flames fairly shot up BeUingham Street, on which were many fine homes. Chief among them, on the very top of the hill, was the beautiful estate of Ex-Mayor Thomas Strahan, filled with valuable paintings, tapestries, and art treasures, collected from all parts of the world. The house was of brick and stone with a sl...ate roof and plenty of land about it, and it seemed as if it could be saved. The view from the tower of the Strahan house can never be forgotten. As far as one could see, a seething mass of flame, like a tidal wave, was rolling up the hill. So fast had the fire approached that the Lynn engine, stationed halfway up BeU- ingham Street, was unable to get away. The firemen did not abandon it until their faces were burned and their hair singed. It was beyond human force to withstand the terrific heat and suffocating smoke, and it was with difficulty, when they finaUy abandoned it, that they were able to save their lives, as the fire com- pletely surrounded them.
