It's much more tame than the premise might suggest. No issues with sex or language that I can remember at all. Obviously, there's some violence, but it didn't seem particularly graphic or scary to me. I wouldn't have had a problem with my girls reading it when they were 12. I suspect that there are far worse books in their middle school library or the young adult fiction section of the local library.
