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

The cloud seemed to grow smaller and smaller as Davy's father and motherwatched it from the shore; then it became like a little white spot onthe faraway sea; then it passed over the line where the water meets thesky, and they saw it no more!
After Davy had cried a great deal, and wished very often that he had notbeen so determined to leave home, he dried his eyes and began to takegreat interest in the curious things he saw around him. What surprisedhim most of all was, that although he actually
... was at sea, he could notsee the sea at all! This was because the sides of the ship, which arecalled "bulwarks, " were so high that they quite prevented the little boyfrom seeing overboard. Davy soon found an opening in the bulwarks, however, which his friend Ben called the "gang-way, " through which hecould see the water and the ships and boats that were sailing there. And when he mounted the high part of the deck in front of the ship, which is called the "forecastle, " or when he went upon the high deck atthe stern of the ship, which is called the "poop, " then he could see allround.
