What reading level is The Steam Shovel Man book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Very likely the Chilean officers and crew knew nothing about the shady business. The Panamanian 89 THE STEAM-SHOVEL MAN craft might have been courteously permitted to take on part of her cargo by transferring it across the intervening deck.
Walter tingled with excitement. The checker must have an understanding with the captain or owner, or both, of the disreputable-looking little steamer hailing from Panama. Her des- tination could not be far distant. She could be overhauled at short notice. In...stead of inform- ing the American officials at Balboa, Walter swiftly decided to try to unravel the plot by him- self. It would show them that he was good for something besides base-ball. And it might mean solid recognition. But there was something bigger than his own interests at stake. The spirit of the Canal Zone had taken hold of him. He knew that "graft" had been kept out of the organization. To have the fair record blotted, even in the smallest way, was hateful to him. He was as jealous of the honor of the "Big Ditch" as Colonel Gunther himself.
