What reading level is The Butcherbird book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Somewhere in the Domain or the gardens surrounding the Museum of Modern Art, lasers or other devices of illusionists and magicians were creating shifting pictures on the clouds, as the human interest swarmed in through the portico. The women were in full plumage. The invitation had read ‘Party’, not ‘Cocktails’ or ‘Reception’, and the starting time was eight, rather than six-thirty or seven. There weren’t so many real parties nowadays—maybe there’d be dancing, mixing, darkness, happenings, scand...als, gossip … In the forecourt, beautiful young women in dinner jackets were strolling about with peacocks on leads and a tall, muscled black man, also in a dinner jacket but with no shirt, just a bare chest and a white bow tie, stood motionless with a brightly coloured parrot on his shoulder. Strange, discordant, but not unpleasant, music wafted through the evening air from time to time as the guests queued to enter, and there was a disturbing, musky, vaguely sexual fragrance around.
