Sentenced to School

"We don't deserve life time, all we did was holding on to our own minds, following our own hearts."
Is school an anti-child institution, a control centre where forced teaching is part of keeping students docile, passive and non-questioning?

When Torsten, Milla, Sunny and Sky are sentenced to six years of secondary schooling at age 13 they decide to break out from their lifelong suffering in the name of education as they realise their coming together is a sign that the world is finally ready for their brand of change. They believe that changing the school can change the world.

The foursome start ticking off their list of changes with school uniforms- an imprisonment of creative spirit- and work their way through money, sex and belief systems as well as many other life and child opposing lessons.

Punished and eventually summoned to court the foursome refuse to submiss and continue to gather more clues about The Lost Childrens School and their nortorious headmaster Thunder.

During their pararell inner treasure hunt they tap into their own power source which is otherworldly and deeply imaginative, an undervalued and underused creation tool.

Is the book that supports everything they believe in too good to be true and are there more than one? Can they win the support of their peers who see them as outcast?

Warriors of Change:Sentenced to School will challenge and enthrall you. It is a look at institutions from a different angle. The foursome asks new questions and come up with different answers- their friendship and humour being their constant companions.

The first in a trilogy fantasy, Warriors of Change Sunny, Milla, Sky and Torsten will capture your heart, make you smile and leave you thinking, excited for the next page in their journey.

Book Cover Intro

At the threshold of forgetfulness, of falling into the deep sleep of adulthood four teenagers take on school and declare their right not to be opposed anymore.
"School is an anti-child institution. Instead of extracting the wisdom we are born with by allowing us to grow and become our unique selves it's discarded. We are taught but we don't learn anything. School creates common life duplicators instead of original life creators," they say.
As they travel through a year of school they question and dismantle each and every subject.
They delve deep into the core where school is a centre of power and control, where children are moulded and shaped and told life starts at graduation instead of birth. In Milla, Sky, Sunny and Torsten's bold reclaiming of responsibility for their own lives, they meet and get to know their own inner heroes.
