I would say it's definitely appropriate for fifth graders. I read this book when I was in that age group, and I reread it many times. It deals with topics like domestic abuse, death, and racism, but in an age-appropriate way.
Dan McCollum
Totally appropriate - I was in 5th grade when we read it.
Andrew
No. It is wildly inappropriate, nearly lost my job.
Lira
My brother read this book in third grade with his class. I read it myself in second grade. I personally loved it and reread it a few times as well.
