Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Spoiler alert...

I agree with the other 1 star review - not appropriate for under 12, even though it says appropriate for ages 9-12. The main character's friend dies when a mentally unstable man slits his throat (although the murder is not described in detail when it occurs at the end of the book). Please know that I love Lois Lowry, and have read many of her wonderful books!
