What reading level is The Lion of Saint Mark book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As he hadhoped, his first attempt showed him that the iron of the rivet wassoft, and the keen dagger at once notched off a small piece of theburred end. Again and again he tried, and each time a small piece ofmetal flew off. After each cut he examined the edge of the dagger, butit was well tempered, and seemed entirely unaffected.
He now felt certain that, with patience, he should be able to cut offthe projecting edges of the rivets, and so be able to free his hands. He, therefore, now examined... the fastenings at the ankles. These weremore heavy, and on trying them, the iron of the rivet appeared to bemuch harder than that which kept the manacles together. It was, however, now too dark to see what he was doing, and concealing thedagger again, he lay down with a lighter heart than he had from themoment of his capture.
Even if he found that the lower fastenings of the chain defied all hisefforts, he could cut the rivets at the wrists, and so free one end ofeach chain. He could then tie the chains round his legs, and theirweight would not be sufficient to prevent his walking.
