What reading level is Up the River book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I should be afraid — afraid ! Oh ! the fire is a great enemy to cope with ; and wherever the seed-sparks are wafted on the winds, they bloom out marvellously, but their harvest is destruc- tion and waste. I have risen up and pressed my face against the glaring panes in the city, behold- ing with admiration the hot billows, above which I have seen the pigeons, frightened from their eaves, flying on wings of fire, and the jets shoot up from the saltpetre heaps, waiting for the crash of some great... dome, beneath which was a white statue rocking on its pedestal ; while perhaps the sculptor among the crowd beheld his work en- circled in a halo of beauty.
The storm of which I have spoken, was accom- panied at the farther north by the unusual phenome- non of thunder and sharp lightning, which produced a wild, unearthly brilliance as it imbued the mass of falling snow. The atmosphere was surcharged, red balls of fire rolled about as if some demons fro- licked, trees were torn up by the roots, and all things bristled with the electric fluid like a cat's back.
