What reading level is Poppy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She tried to look as if taking supper at the Café Royal with an aristocratic young gentleman was an everyday occasion. But secretly she felt overawed by the marble and glass and dazzling white linen, by the subdued well-bred murmur of the other diners, and by the enormous menus.
She ran one small hand furtively over the pristine white of the tablecloth. Such cleanliness, such elegance, was terrifying. For the first time since she had gone on the stage, she felt like plain Penelope Smith of Bermo...ndsey. Fortunately her escort was even more nervous than she was herself, and Poppy soon began to relax, although she could not help whispering to Freddie, “Why are all those people staring at me?”
“Because you are so beautiful,” said Freddie simply.
“Aw, garn!” said Poppy, laughing, but secretly she was enchanted by the compliment.
Poppy was shocked immensely by the small amount of food it seemed de rigueur for one to eat in polite society. She did not know that many society ladies still kept up the old practice of eating a hearty meal before they left home, so that they could maintain the fiction of eating like birds in public.
