The same genre category contains gentle picture books and high-intensity middle-grade novels — Lexile and grade-level scores measure text complexity, not what's actually in the story. A mythology, greek title appropriate for a confident 8-year-old reader could still cover themes a sensitive 12-year-old isn't ready for.
