We allow 5th-8th graders to check it out in my K-8th school. The first year
we had it, we did get push back from teachers (students were "showing it
around") who felt that the book was too mature for 5th grade. However, all
of that died down almost immediately. No parent has complained. I let my
5th grade son read it this year too. It is allowed in his school K-5th
grade school.
