Enlightening and Inspiring Generations with Generations of Ideas

'I love books.  I like the way a book feels.  I like the way a book smells.  I like to turn each page, read each word, look at the pictures.’  I wrote those words in a book because of my wonderful, unforgettable first visit to a library.  It opened up a world to me – a world of surprises, magic, fun, mystery, excitement, and all the information I would ever need to write my books.

Summary: In a world eerily similar to our own, the government imposes debt limits on families. Exceed the limit, and the family's oldest child will be taken away to a special workhouse. Thirteen-year-old Matt doesn't think he has anything to worry about. After all, his parents are financially responsible, unlike the parents of those other kids. But after Matt's family unexpectedly surpasses their limit, Matt's whisked away to a workhouse where far more serious dangers exist than anyone on the outside realizes. Highly relevant to modern financial challenges and sure to captivate readers, The Limit is a fast-paced thriller that never lets up.
