Okay listen, I don't read a lot of Juvenile fiction as an adult. But this book gave even ME the creeps and I read extreme horror. Jeff Strand does an amazing job of making you feel uneasy and uncomfortable without a ton of gore. While there definitely is SOME gore, it isn't excessive. It is definitely appropriate for elementary school children.
If you have kids that are starting to show interest in the creepy, scary, weird, etc... I would definitely recommend this book to them. I will also be recommending this to the kids in our library that enjoy the genre.
