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.
Sir Gibbie is about a mute child that is orphaned and homeless, living off the charity of others initially, ultimately finding his fortunes change as he comes of age, and rising to a station of influence. His is a life you can see straight to the bottom of, teeming with the clear and life-giving waters of love and hope. But he is no pushover—his robust physical/spiritual stature comes to the aid of the weak and poor around him.
