Yes definitely. It was entirely appropriate for 6th graders. I was forced to read it in 6th grade and my whole class ended up loving it.

I haven't read it yet (just starting), but in NY this topic is a 7th & 8th grade one. The child will have more background knowledge about the time period and issues addressed in the story after 7th grade for sure.

Depends on the 6th grader. The material isn't too racy, but it's definitely horrifying - think burning, jumping out of windows, etc. The descriptions aren't too graphic, but if you have a sensitive 6th grader they're going to have nightmares anyway.
