In the fight between good and evil, good doesn't always win -- especially when you're a kid. This is one of the lessons Luke Ellis has been learning ever since he was kidnapped from his home and brought to The Institute, a place with other children who seem to have the powers of telekinesis or telepathy. Now, Luke is learning how to navigate the dangers and horrors of The Institute, and protect himself and his new friends.
I liked this book and found the tone of it reminded me of one of my favorite books, The Talisman (which was co-written by King and Peter Straub). When this story starts, it's not with Luke, so you wonder where the story is going. But, in true King storytelling fashion, things come back together at one point and you understand where all of this has been leading. I found this not to be a horror story as much as a story where the evil is sinister and you're not sure if good will triumph over evil at all. Good story!
