YA
In a small upstate New York town, graduating seniors take part in the officially unsanctioned game of Panic. Heather, the daughter of an addict, joins the competition on a whim; Dodge enters determined to win revenge. Heather and Dodge are well-rounded characters who are preparing for a less-than-perfect future. A work of realistic fiction with sharp corners, dark places, and considerable humanity.
