What reading level is The Story of My House book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Many sounds not strictly belonging to outward Nature become com- plementary to her through familiarity, or through the surroundings amid which they are heard. Thus the hills and valleys speak through the roar of the railroad train, and the harvest fields find a fitting tongue in the thrashing machine. A domestic voice rather than a voice of Nature, the cock's crow is, notwithstanding this, associated with Nature and rural scenes. It is more a voice of the country and a pulsation of the rural la...ndscape than an expression of urban surroundings. The city hems it in; the country expands it. Orpheus might pause to listen to it when sounded from an autumnal upland, it is so resonant and sonorous. So much does the scene, or the conditions amid which sounds are uttered, affect the sounds themselves.
As a purely wild sound of Nature the Nature of our own woods and fields the cry of the owl is, perhaps, unrivaled. The bark of the fox has some analogy to it in point of wildness, except that his voice is always further removed.
