What reading level is The Silent Boy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
OCTOBER 1910 Jacob Stoltz was standing beside the road when Father took me with him to the country one Saturday morning in October, just after my eighth birthday. I was recovering from chicken pox, and Father said the fresh air would perk me up. I was startled to see Peggy's brother there, because we were not very near the Stoltz farm. We were going toward the flour mill, out the Lawton County Road. One of the helpers at the mill had cut his hand badly, on a piece of machinery. Father had stitch...ed it, he told me, just the way the seamstress, Miss Abbott, might stitch fabric together with her shiny needle tapping against the thimble on her other hand.
"Not like the hem of your dress, Katydid," Father said, as I turned over the edge on my knees to look at Miss Abbott's neat stitches, which barely showed. "More like the way she sews satin binding on the edge of a blanket, bigger stitches. And I use special very strong thread. Today I'll pull the stitches out if the wound has healed." As it happened, there was a worn blanket folded in the back of the buggy, under Father's bag.
