What reading level is The Giant's House book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oscar was a good man and, before he became a father, an unworried one. I would have said that was his main character flaw: an unwillingness to worry. As soon as there was a problem, he would try to find an ingenious solution. A belt fixed with a bent nail, faulty locks repaired with folded paper. When a solution was not possible, he tried to turn the difficulty into advantage.
But then Alice was born, and the world suddenly seemed full of possible harm. He saw that a baby was a magnet for inappr...opriate objects. Bent tetanic nails could find their way to bare feet, folded paper sought the warmth of a baby’s mouth. All his brilliant inventions turned to weapons aimed at his daughter. Even his nephew in the back house, even James, seemed an advertisement for things that went wrong.
In the basement, Oscar still fiddled with his comic books, had in fact borrowed from my library (which had borrowed it from another, more cosmopolitan library in Boston) a book on drawing the things, and so he pasted up and used faint pencil for guide marks and wrote careful block-lettered dialogue in squared-off balloons that floated over his characters.
