"That's what Panic was all about: not fear." "No one knows who invented Panic or when it first began." It's a series of challenges open only to graduating seniors of Carp High School but funded by every student. The winner gets $50,000+-. "In seven years of playing, there have been four deaths..." One enters the competition by participating in the Opening Jump - jumping off "the jagged rocky lip of shoreline jutting forty feet into the air on the inside of the quarry." Heather Nil enters the game spontaneously because she realized after her boyfriend, Matt Henley, dumped her she was a complete and total nobody. This is an edge-of-your-seat read with multiple themes and backstories. YA language, teen sex, shoplifting, and disrespect for law enforcement do not negate the impact of this book. This is an awesome read, perhaps appealing to fans of the Hunger Games.
"Insects are like humans, in a way stupid and sometimes vicious, blinded by need."
