What reading level is The Pursuit of Alice Thrift book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I Move On SYLVIE HAD ADOPTED ME, AND NOW SYLVIE HAD SENT ME BACK to foster care.
I took it hard. I could have walked across the hall and said, “Let’s talk,” or, “I miss you.” Instead I moped and cried over the rare thing I’d lost, the unexpected knocks on my door and the pleasure of her boisterous company. Like a girl with a grudge in junior high, I barely nodded when I passed her in the halls.
Rapprochement was up to her, I reasoned. If she wanted to preserve our friendship, she should knock on... my door. She should explain that it was an unfortunate misunderstanding, that she and Leo had danced and flirted and shared mud pie. Nothing more. Whatever you’re mad about, Alice, you should know this about Sylvie Schwartz: that in her book, girlfriends trump boyfriends, and comradeship trumps romance, okay? I miss you terribly and Leo is bereft.
But the stalemate continued. I convinced myself that I couldn’t respect a serial seducer, while Sylvie must have decided that anyone so square, so snappish, so judgmental, could go to hell.
