Summary: More real than you'd like to think
Comment: I read the book Breaking Point in one sitting. When you read it, you are constantly wondering what will happen next. I couldn't put it down.
Paul Richmond has trouble making friends in his new school. Then, Charlie Good, the most popular guy at school, takes him in. Suddenly, Paul is accepted, but with a price. Charlie wants him to do all sorts of things that Paul would never have thought of doing . . . stuff like smashing mailboxes and drinking. And then, Charlie wants him to do something much, much bigger.
This book deals with school violence, an important topic facing teenagers. But what I really liked about it is that it shows what high school is really like when you're an outsider. You get to be right inside the character's head and know what he's going through and what could drive him to do something so bad. A lot of people might not like to think that this is what teens are really going through, but it is. I recommend this book. Read it!

Summary: A Powerful Read
Comment: I've read several young adult novels that deal with school violence and this is really the first one that I feel truly delves into the mind of one of the perpetrators in a realistic way. Paul Richmond could be someone we know, he could be us. Flinn has the courage to remind us that violence doesn't happen in a vacuum, that all of us have a Breaking Point and that many times, our smaller cruelties may be pushing someone else to their Breaking Point. As we follow Paul through his downward spiral we are forced to look at these issues in our own homes and classrooms and wonder, who we know, who is at the edge, who is ready to break. This is a must read for kids and for teachers, too.

Summary: The new kid
Comment: breaking point was a nother suckses by Alex Flinn. She has writen a book that others can connect with. This book really goes into detail about how hard it is for kids with parents that split up. It also explains the trubles with always moving and having to change schools that are new and have no friends where you go. I would recomend this book to any one that whants a good book to read.
