I would just like to second this comment - my children saw the beginning of
it by accident with a babysitter when they were quite young and they found
the bullying parts at the beginning very disturbing.

As I recall there are big boys urinating on a little boy, parents dying and
a rooster being throttled in the first ten minutes. I thought of saving it
for the teen years although I have seen a child's version of the book on
sale.

It definitely is disturbing in parts, but I think middle school students
would probably be fine with it, depending on what grade the middle school
starts. Grade 7 for sure, maybe grade 6, but not grade 5. And that's a
generalization. <g> I think Lars was 12 when he saw it.
