It deals with some heavy topics about death and time. it centers around a teenager contemplating suicide and an old man who doesn't want to die and lengths he'll go to (medically speaking) to continue his life.

The mental aspect with time and death may become too sad and too much for a 10/11 year old to deal with yet.

Don't get me wrong, the whole of the book in my opinion is uplifting, but I think your pre-teen would be better served to wait to read or in my case listen to the book until s/he is a bit older.(less)
