About the Author

He sees his writing as an opportunity to both encourage reading in young people and to build character.
Review
"On the Limit is a thoroughly enjoyable read, especially for those racing fans, both boy and girl alike. Anthony Hampshire reveals a bit more about the characters, their personalities and relationships to each other in this second instalment to the series and includes some humour as well. In particular, the opening scene is quite funny. Once again, the author provides a glossary of race terms at the end of the novel."
-- CM Magazine
"On the Limit is a good addition to library collections for middle grade and high school libraries. . . Humour is one of the strengths of this novel."
-- Resource Links
"This series is ideal for reluctant readers. The short books are enjoyable, and the characters are fun to read about. Although the stories are not action packed, they provide the right level of humor, romance, action, and suspense to keep readers interested. The writing is simple and descriptive. The story is predictable yet absorbing. The pacing is quick, as a racing story should be, with funny, idiosyncratic, and heroic characters. They could be the boys next door, so readers will identify with them and root for them. A useful glossary is included, and photos, although some of very poor quality, are sprinkled throughout the books. This short series is a worthwhile purchase for young racing fans."
