I don't really read teen books (and I'm still a teen), so I can't really compare it those. The reading level might be somewhat hard for not as advanced readers and it has what some may consider questionable content. There is some swearing, violence (it is about a war), suggestive scenes, and deals with racism and slavery.
Although it is fiction, it is based on historical events, like the Civil War and the reconstruction period afterwards. (less)
