Review

Ok so let's get it out of the way 1st THIS IS NOT HUNGER GAMES

Yes it is about kids fighting against each other.

Yes it's probably going to result in their death.......but that is it, nothing else is similar.
It is not a dystopia novel.

Heather is a young girl who lives in a dead end town called Carp, everyone wants to get out, there is nothing there for anyone and if you stay you will end up in a dead end town with a dead end job .......

The only way to get out of the town? MONEY which no one has, and the only way to get a decent amount of money is to play PANIC

The winner gets 67 grand, enough to get out.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HAVE 67 GRAND IN YOUR POCKET??

But Dodge doesn't want the money.........He is playing for revenge !!!

The game happens every year, if you even mention you are in......then you are in.

There are rules though, throughout the year every student has to pay $1 even if they don't want to,(a beating will change your mind) and then in the summer it is pooled together for the winner.

There are judges that no one knows who email, text or post the games, that consist of more and more dangerous things for them to do, then you are on your own.......

How far will Heather and Dodge go to win?

This is a very good book, I liked the way it moved into the games and explained how/why it is played.

A good read.
