What does "free" even mean?

Seventeen-year-old River has been uprooted from her city life and forced to move to an idyllic village in the middle of Nowhere. Falling in love with the mercurial Vilda should be the most exciting thing to happen amongst all this nothing… but the idyll is an illusion.

The more time River spends with Vilda and her misfit friends, the more she begins to see the world around her with new eyes. So when tragedy strikes and school becomes a divisive battle ground, River is the first to take a stand for what is right.

FREE SCHOOL is the first book in a (should be) dystopian YA trilogy, which follows River and her friends as they stand up to increasing levels of corruption…
