You know the rhyme, right? "She had so many children, she didn't know what to do." If I was living in the world of The Limit I would need to be that woman. In Matt's world the government has taken over spending control and given every family a limit. If a family goes over that limit...well, there are options. One is a program to limit spending more closely, supervise purchases, etc. Another option is to send a child to a "workhouse" to work off the family's debt. Matt's family didn't get to pick an option though and Matt is sent to the workhouse. There he placed on the "Top Floor" because of his wicked computer skills.
It doesn't take long for Matt and his friend Coop to figure out that something more sinister is going on in the workhouse. This is a great, quick read with great pacing. Great for tweens and others as well.
