THE INSTITUTE - STEPHEN KING GEBUNDEN

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King  the most riveting and unforgettable
story of kids confronting evil since It-publishing just as the second part of It  the movie 
lands in theaters.  In the middle of the night  in a house on a quiet street in suburban
Minneapolis  intruders silently murder Luke Ellis's parents and load him into a black SUV. The
operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute  in a room that looks
just like his own  except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors  behind which
are other kids with special talents-telekinesis and telepathy-who got to this place the same
way Luke did: Kalisha  Nick  George  Iris  and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front
Half. Others  Luke learns  graduated to Back Half  "like the roach motel " Kalisha says. "You
check in  but you don't check out."  In this most sinister of institutions  the director  Mrs.
Sigsby  and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of
their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along  you get tokens for the
vending machines. If you don't  punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back
Half  Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped
from the Institute.  As psychically terrifying as Firestarter  and with the spectacular kid
power of It  The Institute is Stephen King's gut-wrenchingly dramatic story of good vs. evil in
a world where the good guys don't always win.
