I threw it out the day that the Lexile "book selector" tool told me that some Flaubert would be around right for my then-8yo.
Having worked with this Lexile system in elementary school for both my kids. The gifted one, and my older DD who has a reading LD and was reading below grade level. The Lexile system is ONE way of judging reading level and based most on how hard a book is going to be to decode. In my opinion it stops being useful about the 4/5th grade reading level.
