What reading level is The White Gambit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the swamps of the forest came the paeans of the frogs as if armies of ghosts were in the turmoil of battle. As frequently as a man scratches rose the bleat of a kid, the low of cattle, or the harsh squawk of a bird.
Within the inner royal enclosure and so near to the King's compound that the rumble of his laughter and the baboonlike bark and squeak of the jester could be heard was the hut of the royal heir. On a slight dais of beaten earth padded with reeds and covered by calico lay Tapakw...e, a youth just past the time of circumcision. The features were less coarse than his father's and more after those of his uncle, Chwa; but now the ebon skin in the light of the smoky fire was of a greenish hue and hung upon the well built skeleton like unbrayed hide upon a frame and the big eyes stared as one looking upon ghosts. On the other side of the fire squatted three men whose bodies were decorated with monkey fur, parrot feathers, and many amulets; and two of them were so old that their bellies and breasts were shrivelled like dried 129 bladders and their limbs resembled the human sticks of the great drum, Toko Toko, which only is beaten at a royal accession.
