What reading level is The King of the Hummingbirds book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reality was putty in the clever gnome’s hands, as it would be in the hands of a whittler or a fiddler or a teller of moralizing tales. He could change anything to anything and could even change himself to anything, or even into twenty things at once. He changed reality so frequently by his magic that in the end he lost track of it, for all he ever thought was “What might I change this into?”
He lived all alone in a cave in the side of a mountain, and for years he never saw a living soul except h...is billy goat, because every time he heard footsteps coming, whether it was something real or something he’d created, he hid, sometimes by changing himself into thin air, sometimes by changing whatever it was into thin air, and sometimes by means more ingenious. The only thing he couldn’t seem to change was, for some reason, dragons. And so he kept changing things to other things, insofar as possible, and refusing to look. It was just as well. It was by now the most curious country in the world, where the magic was out of control completely, and if the gnome had looked to see what creature was approaching him, real or otherwise, he might well have been frightened into his grave.
