What reading level is The Looking Glass book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When a boy goes to school and does simply the things which a school boy ought to do, when he gets his lessons and is punctual and well-behaved, he is called a superior child. Every teacher knows that nine-tenths of the pupils do not ex- pect to measure up to the mark. In fact, the child who does this is called a "shark" or a "grub" or a "sissy" or some other term of derision.
Even so with teachers themselves. I presume I have had a hundred teachers in my youth, and of them all I can recall just... two who had any busi- ness to be teaching. They taught, really helped, and inspired me; the others were holding their jobs.
Most actors are poor; when one is good, or what every actor ought to be, we call him a genius.
Most preachers are boresome. When one 132 speaks with inspiring power, as every preacher should do, we say he is wonderfully gifted.
Most grocers are inefficient, most barbers don't know how to shave you, most hired girls are not what you want, most carpenters, masons and house painters are not to be relied on, most news- papers are not satisfactory, most lawyers disap- point you, most doctors do not understand how to doctor their patients and most mothers do not know how to mother their children.
