From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes a captivating, thrilling novel of fear, friendship, courage, and hope that will leave readers gasping for air. Now a television series on Prime Video, starring Olivia Welch, Mike Faist, Jessica Sula, Enrique Murciano, Camron Jones, and Ray Nicholson!

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a poor town of twelve thousand people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. And in this legendary game, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher, everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them–and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

Read the book that inspired the series, which the New York Times described as Reminiscent of ‘The Hunger Games’ but grounded in the real world.
