Summary
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' 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 10-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.

Summary
En mitad de la nocha en un barrio tranquilo de Minneapolis raptan a Luke Ellis, de doce años, tras haber asesinado a sus padres. Una operación que dura menos de dos minutos. Luke se despierta en el Instituto, en un cuarto exactamente igual al suyo pero sin ventanans. En habitaciones parecidas hay más niños: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, y Avery Dixon, entre otros, que comparten capacidades especiales como la telequinesia o la telepatía. Todos ellos se alojan en la Mitad Denantera de la institutión. Los mayores, en cambio, se encuentran en la Mitad Transera. Como dice Kalisha: El que entre no sale. En este instituto tan siniestro, la dierectora - la señoa Sigsby - e sus empleados se dedican a extraer la fuerza supernatural de cada uno de los niños, siempre se una manera despiadada y sin escrúpulos. Si los niños cooperan, ganan monedas para las máquinas de dulces. Pero si no, el castigo es brutal. Cada vez que una víctima desaparece, Luke se encuentra más desesperado por hir y buscar ayuda. Pero nunca nadie ha logrado escapar del Instituto...
