Specs
This book is difficult to grade. In actuality, it is a graded reader starting from a very low level, but it continues all the way through to incredibly advanced material, such as high level 40+ books. We specified lvl 20 as the level, because those users would be able to make use of a significant portion of the book, but it does start below that level (hiragana/katakana).
As a result of this complication, we've marked this book as a textbook so users are not prompted to grade the difficulty (textbooks are excluded from grading).
