Universal buys film rights to Lauren Oliver next YA novel "Panic"

Here’s some great news, Lauren Oliver fans! We’re all waiting for Lauren’s next YA novel Panic to hit the shelves but Universal has taken that up a notch and bought the film rights to it.
The Wrap is reporting that the studio closed the deal with a seven-figure deal. The project will be produced by Marc Platt.
“I’m thrilled about Universal’s enthusiasm and passion for the project, and excited about the chance to bring this story to the big screen,” said Oliver, who has earned a legion of fans for her New York Times bestselling “Delirium” trilogy.
Panic is Lauren’s return to realistic fiction – like Before I Fall –  and tells the story of a small Upstate New York town where the teens play a very dangerous game every summer. It is set to publish in spring 2014 by HarperCollins.
Will you be getting the book?
