The Institute

by Stephen King

Twelve-year-old Luke Ellis awakens in a sinister facility deep in the Maine woods, imprisoned with other children who possess telekinetic and telepathic abilities. As the Institute subjects them to brutal experiments and conditioning, Luke and his fellow captives plot a desperate escape. King crafts a propulsive thriller that examines institutional evil, children's resilience, and the weaponization of young minds.
