What reading level is The Mystery of the Locks book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"When the pair travelled, Davy always lagged behind, as he did in this instance ; for in the presence of genius like Tug's, he felt that his place was in the rear. Others might doubt the ability or even the honesty of his friend, but Silas had no doubt that Tug would some day be a wonderful man, and prove that everything said to his discredit was untrue. It was a favorite saying of his that when he " came into his own, " he would move about, with the magnificence of a circus procession, on the ...back of an elephant, with a brass band in front and a company of trumpeters behind ; and Silas was content to wait. Tug occasionally illustrated this idea now as he walked along, by swinging and flinging his body about as those who ride on elephants do, and it occurred to Silas that "his own" must have arrived by boat, and that he was going after it ; for he walked rapidly toward the river without looking around.
Tug had not spoken a word since setting out, and after reaching the street which led down to the crazy collection of houses where he lived, he travelled down that way a while, and at last turned off toward the right, following the course of the river through alleys and back yards, and over fences and gaping sloughs, until at last he stopped near an old warehouse, which had been used a great many years before in storing freight arriving by the boats when the Bend was an important town.
