Panic: A companion story to Sick

In the middle of a sudden epidemic that deforms its victims and creates bloodthirsty hunters of everyday people, high school senior Laura Fitzgerald becomes trapped in a classroom with a freshman boy she's never met . . . and who has suffered a bite from one of the infected students. With both their lives on the line, Laura must push back the symptoms of her panic disorder to get him to safety, not knowing if anyone--her boyfriend, her friend Kenzie, or any authorities--are coming to save them.

This story takes place during the events of Tom Leveen's award-winning novel SICK.
