Is this book appropriate to have a 6th grade Language Arts class read and discuss?

No, not really. I mean if you have sheer geniuses then yes, but im in a freshman World Civilizations class that is at a senior level, and we are reading it right now. Of course we only have a 5 day period to read it, but i would suggest against it.

Good Books:

1. Witch of Black Bird Pond (at a high level, but when discussed it is easy to understand)
2. Peppermints in the Parlor (easy)
3. Mythology (when read aloud, {like after recess} It can be very interesting for kids, {personally i loved it})
