What reading level is The Chimney-Corner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the water floods the neighboring cel- lars. The boys are cursed through all the moods and tenses, — boys are such a plague ! The dam is torn down with emphasis and execration. The boys, how- ever, lie in wait some cold night, between twelve and one, and build it up again ; and thus goes on the bat- tle. The boys care not whose cellar they flood, be- cause nobody cares for their amusement. They un- derstand themselves to be outlaws, and take an out- law's advantage.
"Again, the boys have the...ir sleds ; and sliding down hill is splendid fun. But they trip up some grave citizen, who sprains his shoulder. What is the result ? Not the provision of a safe, good place, where boys may slide down hill without danger to any one, but an edict forbidding all sliding, under penalty of fine.
" Boys want to swim : it is best they should SAvim ; and if city fathers, foreseeing and caring for this want, should think it worth while to mark off some good place, and have it under such police surveillance as to enforce decency of language and demeanor, they would prevent a great deal that now is disagreeable in the unguided efforts of boys to enjoy this luxury.
