The Limit
by Kristen Landon
The Limit is a Big Brother outlook on life in the future. The government has designed a system where each family's expense account is kept track of. If a family goes over, then the oldest child is taken to a government facility where they must work until the debt is paid off. Matt, the main character, is a genius at math and his family exceeds the limit and he is gone. What follows is Matt and his new friends trying to figure out the system and finding out some pretty dangerous things. I liked the math aspect because it showed a different type of character (although I can't claim to understand any part of the math). It is a quick read and the kids who like books about the future will enjoy this.
