What reading level is The Devil Tree of El Dorado a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole affair is a sort of gigantic vegetable ' octopus, ' or devil fish, only that it has a hundred or more 'arms' or branches instead of eight, as the octopus has. I have heard of devil-fish having been caught as large as eighty feet in length, on the coast of Newfoundland. But I never knew that its vegetable prototype grew to anything like the size. " " Of course I have seen devil-fish, " said Leonard thoughtfully ; " but they have a mouth a great beak to which their arms carry the food. ...Do you think it is the same here ? You saw that the branches carried the poor puma up into a hollow in the top of the trunk. Do you suppose the thing has a kind of mouth there ? " " Goodness only knows 1 It must be an awful sort of affair, if it is so. The whole thing is monstrous and uncanny. Don't let us talk about it 1 " But, as a result of this experience, they sought in another direction for a likely place from which to make their intended signals ; and finally they found one convenient for their purpose.
