What reading level is The Vultures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wanda and her father did not return to Warsaw as they had intended.
So long as the frost holds, the country is endurable; nay, it is betterthan the towns on those great plains of eastern Europe; but when thethaw comes, and each small depression is a puddle, every low-lying fielda pond, and whole plains become lakes, few remain in the villages whocan set their feet upon the pavement. The early spring, so closelyassociated in most minds with the song of birds and the budding of greenthings, is in... Poland and Russia a period of waiting for the water todrain off the flat land; a time to look to one's thickest top-boots inthese countries, where men and women are booted to the knee, and everythird house displays the shoemaker's sign upon its door-post.
The Bukatys' country-house, like all else that the past had leftthem, was insignificant. In olden days it had been a farm, one of thesmallest, used once or twice during the winter as a shooting-lodge; forit stood in the midst of vast forests. It was not really ancient, forit had been built in the days of Sobieski, when that rough warrior andparvenu king built himself the house in the valley of the Vistula, where he saw all his greatness vanish, and ended his days in that grimsolitude which is the inheritance of master-minds.
