One of the annoying things about these discussion is the use of ‘children’ and ‘school’ as weasel-words. A 5 year old kindergartner is a child that goes to school, and so is a 17 year old senior. We don’t apply the same standards to both because that’s obviously silly.
I haven’t read it so take my opinion or don’t, but it sounds like something I wouldn’t read to a 2nd grade class but I can see a teenager reading it and understanding the context.
