Stephen King Firestarter - A telekinetic girl who loves her father

Description: A couple of crazy kids take part in a secret drug experiment in the late sixties and get married a year later. Each one gains a small "talent" as a result of the experiment, a "talent" capable of being passed on. A couple of years later their little girl, Charlie, sets her teddy bear on fire...by looking at it. She's a very special child with a fiery temper, but her parents teach her to control her "talent."

Unfortunately for Charlie and her parents, now in 1981, The Shop (a secret government agency) knows about Charlie and her powers and wants her, wants her bad. They will stop at nothing to gain control of this little girl, in order to train her destructive talent even further to serve their own agenda. But Charlie does not want to be The Shop's ultimate weapon. The Shop's in for a BIG surprise.

Dedication: In Memory of Shirley Jackson, who never needed to raise her voice.
