What reading level is The Strong Hours book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some nights they worked overtime by flare, while the pines performed a ghostly shadow dance around them, and the large friendly figure of Maggots prowied amongst them, with his war cry: "Get to it, boys! Get to it, all the time!" And what blessed dreamless sleep was the guerdon of their health-giving toil! Better than town work any day. Clean Nature all about you. Her tempers and pests to put up with; her strength to pit your own against, in place of the frauds and jealousies of men. Work that ...called for endurance, for the triple dexterity of hand, eye, and brain; and, by supper time, made a man feel good all over, at peace with himself and his kind. In these early summer days, wiien the whole camp was putting its collective back into Abe s big contract, and Abe was sending up word that they were the straight goods every jack of them, and the sun shone and the chipmunks chirruped, Derek felt more keenly alive than ever before to all that most satisfied him in the surroundings and the life: the flattering knowledge that one s scrap of w r ork counted, because, in this vast world of logs and loggers, trees were more plentiful than men; the friendliness that would go a long way round to give one of the boys a hand; the unflinching spirit that would admit no ifs or buts ; that bade a man stand up to difficulties and 1 66 THE STRONG HOURS use his native common sense, if he desired to win the respect of his fellows and to keep his job: in brief, the spirit of the West.
