Reading ease score: 81.1 (6th grade). Easy to read.

"In the Yellow Sea" by Henry Frith is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventures of a young man named Julius as he navigates life at sea against the backdrop of the Sino-Japanese conflict. The story begins with Julius facing disappointment after being deemed unfit for naval service due to a supposed eyesight issue, which leads him on an unexpected journey through storms and encounters on various ships in the Yellow Sea. The opening of the novel introduces us to Julius, who is disheartened by a medical decision that blocks his entry into the navy, a path he deeply desires. His frustrations, handled delicately by his well-meaning mother, propel him to escape to the sea, where he embarks on a sailing trip that quickly transitions from a leisurely adventure to life-threatening chaos. As a storm descends upon him, he experiences a shocking tragedy-a freak accident that leads to the death of the old sailor Murry-and declares a determination to sail on despite the tragedy, eventually finding himself aboard a steamer bound for China. Thus begins a rich tapestry of challenges as he learns the ropes of seamanship while grappling with loss and his evolving identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
