Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I’ve also read Pet Semetary and The Institute by King and have enjoyed them all.
  • The Institute by Stephen King. It’s not in a school but school age kids with powers are all taken to a facility to be experimented on. Schoolish vibes.
  • Also by Stephen King, The Institute, The Talisman
  • Just finished the Institute By Stephen King I liked it, but I have to say i am a SK fan...
  • As far as some more recent ones, I really enjoyed The Institute.

Cons

  • Not against a killer but The Institute, also by King, is about a group of kids with telekinetic or telepathic powers who stand up against a secret branch of the government. Trigger Warning for children that get intensionally hurt though
