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


Being fine weather when they set out, they travelled rapidly, makingtwenty miles, as near as they could calculate, in the first six hours. The dogs pulled famously, and the men stepped out well at first, beingcheered and invigorated mentally by the prospect of an adventurousexcursion and fresh meat. At the end of the second day they buried partof their stock of provisions at the foot of a conspicuous cliff, intending to pick it up on their return; and thus lightened, theyadvanced more rapidly,
...keeping farther out on the floes, in hopes offalling in with walruses or seals.
Their hopes, however, were doomed to disappointment. They got only oneseal, and that was a small one--scarcely sufficient to afford a coupleof meals to the dogs.
They were "misfortunate entirely, " as O'Riley remarked; and to add totheir misfortunes, the floe-ice became so rugged that they couldscarcely advance at all.
"Things grow worse and worse, " remarked Grim, as the sledge, for thetwentieth time that day, plunged into a crack in the ice, and had to beunloaded ere it could be got out.
