What reading level is The Ruby in the Smoke book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She was a person of sixteen or so—alone, and uncommonly pretty. She was slender and pale, and dressed in mourning, with a black bonnet under which she tucked back a straying twist of blond hair that the wind had teased loose. She had unusually dark brown eyes for one so fair. Her name was Sally Lockhart; and within fifteen minutes, she was going to kill a man.
She stood looking up at the building for a moment and then climbed the three steps and entered. There was a drab corridor facing her,... with a porter's office on the right, where an old man sat in front of a fire reading a sensational story of the sort known as a penny dreadful. She tapped on the glass, and he sat up guiltily, thrusting the magazine down beside his chair.
"Beg pardon, miss," he said. "Didn't see yer come in." "I've come to see Mr. Selby," she said. "But he wasn't expecting me." "Name, please, miss?" "My name is Lockhart. My father was . . . Mr. Lx)ck-hart." He became friendlier at once.
