There is some bad language in one scene, but I don't mind my son reading those words. I had him read The Martian, which started with a bunch of f-bombs, and I think that was fine. It's the horror of the protagonist's situation in Wolf in White Van and the lack of resolution that I think might give him nightmares. (less)
