Will West is raised as somewhat of a nomad. His parents move about every 18 months to some new location. His father is a nuerobiology researcher and always is switching to new projects. They instruct him to live under the radar. He loves to run, but has to control himself to not be the fastest. He also intentionally does less than his best academically. Then one day, he accidentally aces an intelligence evaluation test and has a boarding school seek him out and offer a big scholarship. At the same time a bunch of secretive agents also try to catch him. He manages to evade them with the help of a taxi driver who later assists hi remotely. He makes it out to the boarding school where he makes friends and gradually learns more. There are bits of supernatural in the process. He learns that previous inhabitants of earth had gained too much knowledge and power and were banished. However, they are using manipulatable humans to get back to earth. He is to help get them back. His mother has been controlled by some of these bad guys. He discovers that he has power to read other people's thoughts and to push images to computers. He can also run and heal super fast. Some of the other kids at the boarding school also have great latent powers such as photographic memory.
He seems to be able to identify the good guys from the bad guys long before we know which ones are which.
There is finally a big fight at the end and the kids discover who they really are. It all fits squarely in the "kids at a boarding school that will save the world" genre.
