Belonging under pressure

At Gate, Paul’s outsider status changes when Charlie Good—a popular student and athlete—offers him entry into an elite circle. The invitation comes with requests that grow in significance, placing the story’s central question on the boundary between wanting acceptance and deciding what one will do to keep it. Set in a school shaped by wealth and social exclusion, the novel explores peer pressure and school violence through the possibility that a “good kid” can be pushed toward harmful choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in stories about peer pressure and social belonging.
  • Readers seeking school-set fiction that addresses social exclusion and violence.

Book overview

How far would you go to fit in?
Paul is new to Gate, a school whose rich students make life miserable for anyone not like them. And Paul is definitely not like them. Then, something incredible happens. Charlie Good, a star student and athlete, invites Paul to join his elite inner circle. All Charlie wants is a few things in return—small things that Paul does willingly. Until one day Charlie wants something big—really big.
Now Paul has to decide how far he'll go to be one of the gang.
The electrifying follow-up to Alex Flinn's critically acclaimed debut novel, Breathing Underwater, Breaking Point is a tale of school violence that explores why and how a good kid can go 'bad'.
