What reading level is The Plum Tree book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever I thought I saw signs of the savage internalbattle against the weakness, I gave him something important andabsorbing to do, and I kept him busy until I knew the temptation hadlost its power for the time.
This is the proper place to put it on the record that he was the mostscrupulously honest man I have ever known. He dealt with the shadiestand least scrupulous of men--those who train their consciences to be theeager servants of their appetites; he handled hundreds of thousands ofdollar...s, millions, first and last, all of it money for which he couldnever have been forced to account. He has had at one time as much ashalf a million dollars in checks payable to bearer. I am not confidingby nature or training, but I am confident that he kept not a penny forhimself beyond his salary and his fixed commission. I put his salary atthe outset, at ten thousand a year; afterward, at fifteen; finally, attwenty. His commissions, perhaps, doubled it.
There are many kinds of honesty nowadays. There is "corporate honesty, "not unlike that proverbial "honor among thieves, " which secures a fairor fairly fair division of the spoils.
