What reading level is The Call of the South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although they have such thick, long and clumsy legs, andcoarse splay feet they run to and fro with marvelous speed, continuallyuttering their insistent croak. Usually they were in pairs, male andfemale, although I once saw a male and three female birds together. Theformer can easily be recognised, for it is considerably larger than itsmate, and the coloration of the plumage on the back and about the eyesis more pronounced, and the beautiful quail-like semi-circular bellymarkings are more clearl...y defined. When disturbed, and if unable torun into hiding among the dead banana leaves, they rise and presenta ludicrous appearance, for their legs hang down almost straight, andtheir flight is slow, clumsy and laborious, and seldom extends more thanfifty yards.
The natives of the Banks and Santa Cruz Groups (north of the NewHebrides) assert that the _kili_ is a ventriloquist, and delights to"fool" any one attempting to capture it. "If you hear it call fromthe right, it is hiding to the left; and its mate is perhaps onlytwo fathoms away from you, hiding under the fallen banana leaves, andpretending to be dead.
