Enh. It's OK. Probably better for someone closer to Em's age. There's nothing really wrong with it, but it wasn't really for me, either.
However, if you are looking for a book for a 12 or 13-year-old, then this one has good messages. The government details may be a bit too much for someone who doesn't have a high enough level of maturity to reason through those things (then again, maybe someone younger wouldn't be paying that much attention to that stuff). Anyway, it's a kid and a woman helping each other out over a great distance, so, yeah. That's a good thing to see unfold!
