The historical inaccuracies and inconsistent tones would have been tolerable, but the cluster***k of the mental/physical age difference between Jacob and Emma make this irredeemable for me. Is it inappropriate because they're both younger than 16, or because she's effectively in her 80s and reaching new lows of cougar-ism? (It's both)
Just because it's a children's book doesn't mean that it has to be lazily written.
