What reading level is The Best Thing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The baby’s had to be flattened to fit through the locker slots. I glimpse its squashed round face as I gather it up in a tissue, find myself tracing its life history, back into the box with its fellow babies, up into the machine that counts jelly babies into boxes, up along the conveyor belt through the drier, to the nozzles that squirt the exact amounts of jelly goop into the baby moulds. Gloved, hair-netted, white-coated workers in attendance: mould scrubbers, defect spotters, nozzle cleaners.... These thoughts get me through the crush, out of the building, through the gate.
Brenner comes up to me—no, he comes after me. Wants to know why we ‘broke up’. Why we can’t be friends.
‘Oh, you tell me,’ I say, not even stopping.
‘Why?’ he says, all innocent. ‘We didn’t have a fight or anything, did we?’ ‘No, we didn’t. You just disappeared off the face of the earth at the first stupid rumour, that’s all.’ I stride on, trying to get ahead of him.
‘What rumour?’ I snort.
