Panic
An Amazon Best Book of the Month, March 2014:Imagine a game that required you to walk, on a dark rainy night, across a narrow plank 50 feet in the air between two water towers.  What could be worth that or any of the other terrifying tests of reckless courage in the game of Panic?   For Dodge and Heather, graduating high school seniors of Carp, population 12,000, winning means a $67,000 chance at freedom from their claustrophobic town.  InPanic, Lauren Oliver's characters are imbued with the emotional intricacy of teenagers hungry for both connection and new beginnings, some hiding secrets that blunt even the most frightening challenge the game can impose.   Although there can only be one winner, a competition based on fear shapes powerful new relationships, understanding, and even forgiveness. --Seira Wilson
