The Limit

The Limit by Kristen Landon

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


How embarrassing - while at the local store, Matt's family exceeds their credit. But wait, it's much worse than just teenage embarrassment - Matt is only 13 and is sent away to a workhouse to pay off his family's overspending. Good thing he's almost a genius - Matt is allowed to live on the top floor where the brains live and work on contracts for the government and large corporations. Things seem good at first - he makes new friends, the rooms are cool, big TVs and computers to play with and a swanky pool to swim in. But then, while cracking into the workhouse files, he finds that his sister has also been taken and has been living on a lower floor for days. She, for some reason, is also getting headaches and seizures. His family has been ultra careless, overspending on all kinds of things they don't need and he also discovers that anything he has ordered, such as clothes, food, and even living on the top floor has been put on the bill - Matt will never be ever to pay it off.

How easy it is, with credit, to slap a few extra "needed" items on the conveyor belt every time we visit a store.....an easy good read for teens.
