What reading level is The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I’ve had wonderful Christmases in more typical places—a small house nestled at the foot of the French Alps, an old New England farmhouse—but there is something special about Christmas in New York.
When I was a child we lived on East 82nd Street, and the glory of Christmas was Park Avenue, with the trees lit in both directions as far as I could see. With my parents I would walk up and down this great and beautiful avenue, admiring the decorated trees. They were more garish then, with lights of ev
...ery color. For the last several years now, they have been lit with tiny white lights. If I had to choose which is the more beautiful, I couldn’t.
And Christmas carols: from our apartment we could hear brass bands playing loudly, slightly out of tune, all the old favorites, and I saw nothing ironic in “Silent Night” played fortissimo. The musicians were usually German, victims one way or another of the First World War. Often I would be given pennies wrapped in tissue paper, the front room windows would be opened, and I would be allowed to toss the pennies down.
