Summary
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."
