this book would not be that gory do to the fact that it seems to be targeted to 3rd 4th and 5th graders

I read it in 6th grade, and yes, parts are frightening, but that is how it should be to emphasise the topic. Definitely read this book.

I'm in 6th grade and I think it's fine to read.

It's not super gory. There is one part that when I told my brother about (he's in 5th) it scared him a bit, but I recommend reading it.

I know this is an old question but for others that might be interested. I just read this to my 9 year old. He just finished 3rd grade. It's not gory at all and created a good learning opportunity for my son. We had good conversations several times throughout the novel.

Hi Josuah, I'm also in 6th grade & I don't think this book is bad. If you can't take in the fact that your reading a book about a boy that gets shot by a police and dies, you probably shouldn't read it. But the book is for matures.

My 6th grade daughter and I both read it. She was very upset to learn about kids her own age being wrongly killed by the police, but it wasn't too gory at all.
