What reading level is Fragrant Flower book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chang is safe,” she said. “They may not have killed him, but only taken him prisoner.”“If prisoner, I see on deck,” Kai Yin replied and continued to cry against Azalea’s shoulder.“I thought the pirates were finished,” Azalea said after a minute, almost as if she spoke to herself.“Always pirates,” Kai Yin muttered.Azalea tried to remember what she had read about pirates in the book on Hong Kong she had found in the Library on the Orissa.It was a history of the Colony and she had gathered quite a ...lot of facts from it.One thing that had been described fully was the overwhelming damage done by pirates to trading vessels at the beginning of the British occupation. But Azalea was sure it was claimed that in recent years, the Navy had dispersed the pirate fleets.She had a good memory and now she concentrated on recalling how the peaceful trading junks in the early 1850s had to be heavily armed because the pirates were waiting for them as soon as they were clear of the harbour.It was thought then that the private fleets made Hong Kong their headquarters and that native marine store-keepers not only supplied them with arms and ammunition but also helped them to dispose of their booty.There had been suspicion, she remembered, that well-paid spies in mercantile offices and Government departments gave them information concerning the shipments of valuable cargo, and – even more important – the movements of the Police and the British gunboats.Now, frighteningly, Azalea recalled there had been a battle between the Navy and sixty-four pirate junks manned by over three thousand men, in which the majority were destroyed.There had even been an encounter in Aberdeen Bay, which was not far from Victoria, between pirate junks and eight Chinese gunboats.One case heard in the Hong Kong courts in the year 1852 was particularly shocking because it concerned the murder of the Captain, the officers and the passengers of a British steamship.“I am sure the book said things were better now,”
