The Institute by Stephen King

The playground was surrounded by a chainlink fence at least ten feet high, and Luke saw cameras peering down at two of the corners... His first thought was that if there was ever a prison exercise yard for kids between the ages of six and sixteen, it would like exactly like this.

The girl - Iris - saw them and waved. 'Sha! Who you got there?'

'This is Luke Ellis,' Kalisha said. 'New this morning.'

Luke Ellis, a super-smart twelve-year-old with an exceptional gift, is the latest in a long line of kids abducted and taken to a secret government facility, hidden deep in the forest of Maine.

Here, kids who can read minds or make objects move are subjected to a series of experiments. There seems to be no hope of escape. Until Luke teams up with an even younger boy whose powers of telepathy are off the scale, and they create a plan.

Meanwhile, far away in a small town in South Carolina, former cop Tim Jamieson has taken a job working for the local sheriff, Time is just walking the beat. The quiet life. He doesn't know he's about to take on the biggest case of his career...
