What reading level is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theyre a miracle. Lawrence fell back in his chair and stared into his lap, his smile collapsing. After a long quiet moment, he turned and looked into my eyes.
Can you tell me what my mamas cells really did? he whispered. I know they did something important, but nobody tells us nothing, When I asked if he knew what a cell was, he stared at his feet as if Id called on him in class and he hadnt done his homework. Kinda, he said. Not really. I tore a piece of paper from my notebook, drew a big circ...le with a small black dot inside, and explained what a cell was, then told him some of the things HeLa had done for science, and how far cell culture had come since. Scientists can even grow corneas now, I told him, reaching into my bag for an article Id clipped from a newspaper. I handed it to him and told him that, using culturing techniques HeLa helped develop, scientists could now take a sample of someones cornea, grow it in culture, then transplant it into someone elses eye to help treat blindness.
