But new kids keep coming as old friends disappear into the terrifyingly mysterious Back Half. He meets young people just like him: Avery, Kalisha, Nicky, George. Luke is brought to the Front Half of the Institute, where children are subjected to tests, nearly drowned in tanks of water as a torture method, and interrogated about their abilities. In the book’s beginning stages, they kidap him and murder his parents. They’re more concerned about Luke’s powers, and they’re not messing around. Everyone is focused on his intelligence - except the Institute, a secret organization that specializes in kidnapping children.
(As he frequently reminds, he can at least make pizza pans shake in times of high emotion.) He also happens to be a genius: He’s about to head for Boston to take classes at MIT and Emerson, even though he’s six years shy of standard college age. The Institute centers on Luke Ellis, a 12-year-old kid who has small but potent telekinetic powers. Indeed, while King’s most recent fiction is still keeping readers on the edge of their seat, it’s also leaving us with something deeper to think about. It’s the kind of sentiment we’re seeing more from the best-selling author these days. “I hope the world doesn’t end because of us,” a character says near the end of Stephen King’s latest novel, The Institute. Warning: This article contains spoilers from The Institute, by Stephen King.
