What reading level is Thumbsucker book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Maple Glen treated celebrities and millionaires. Elvis Presley was rumored to have stayed there, as well as a Norwegian prince and the wife of a former president, but it was hard to know the truth. The clinic’s employees were sworn to secrecy and the windows of its long green shuttle vans were tinted with a dark reflective film that grew more opaque the harder you stared at it.
Still, I had a couple of close calls, and they were enough to fill me with resentment toward those whom the world seeme...d to favor for no good reason. One day I walked into the Shell station downtown just after one of the vans had left the pumps.
“Guess who just used a rest room?” the attendant said. “Elizabeth Taylor.”
“Right.”
“I shit you not.”
“What did she look like?”
“A woman with a cold. She bought some Fritos out of the machine.”
This brush with fame so close to home unnerved me. I felt strangely diminished, pushed aside. Elizabeth Taylor’s type, it seemed to me, belonged on television and in magazines, where ordinary people could look at them but they could not look back at us.
