This book was written for a young audience, but still had a lot of suspense. I remember being pretty scared when I watched the movie as a kid.

A young brother and sister are in a sort of orphanage/juvenile detention home. They are different from the other kids - they can speak telepathically, can move objects through telekinesis, and a few other unusual skills. A long lost "uncle" turns up to claim them. They barely recall this "uncle", but they are so afraid - with good cause. So they decide to hit the road with the help of a priest.

As they make plans to escape, they start to recall bits and pieces of their childhood. A process that accelerates on their journey. They end up with a large number of people hunting them down leading to a very dramatic ending.

The book was good but the movie was a bit better.

OMG I absolutely adored this movie when I saw it as a child! I wish I'd known there was a book it was based on!
