In the summer of 2011 I read a book called The Limit and I loved it. It takes place in a slightly futuristic world very similar to our own. The main character is a thirteen year old named Matt. In this world each family has an economical limit. If they go into more than a certain amount of debt they go over the limit. If this happens one of the children in the family is taken to a workhouse. When Matt’s family goes over the limit at a grocery store he is taken away from his family. While at this workhouse Matt and his friends find corruptness in the owners. Matt tries to uncover the truth and escape the workhouse alive. The book is written by Kristen Landon and is about 300 pages long. I would give it 5 stars out of five.

James I liked the way you described the book. Now I want to read it.
I just checked that book out from the library not knowing you had read it. By hearing from you that it is a good book makes me want to read it even more. Thanks for posting. We can discuss the book later after I finish it. Great post James!
