An Ambleside year is a year of the Ambleside Online programme, not a reader's age. Year 0 is its first year, and a book used over several years shows the span. The ages beside it are that band offered two grades up and none down, which is how we offer a band; they are a placement, not a reading measure.
The Luck of Roaring Camp' is a short story by Bret Harte, first published in the August 1868 issue of Overland Monthly. It narrates the hard-luck life of a baby boy, Thomas Luck, born an orphan in a gold mining camp in California and raised by a grizzled bunch of hard-hearted miners. This story helped launch Bret Harte's international prominence as a writer, and contains a veritable cornucopia of descriptive words—a great tool for learning and expanding your literary horizons.
