Ok but on the edge.
I think that the particular story is not violent, but a touch scary for the fact that there is whipping involved and many details about it; in which I believe shouldn't be exposed to younger aged children.

Suitable
I think that this book is suitable for children, because though there is whipping in it, it shows the reality of slaves back then. Also I assume that kids are studying about slaves in school, so I think that this book would give a good impression on them.
