Beyond the Grey — Ian Hall

Unknown to her, teenage Campari Abasheen has two desperate enemies; her parents!
Both break the law, conspiring to keep her tethered to the family business; building the biggest farm on the distant planet, Wiseman 3.
Thankfully, a place in Earth's Space Academy saves Campari from a life of perpetual farm-wife drudgery.
She begins her journey through the four years of Space Academy clinging to the idea that one day she'll become a working biologist. She knows the task is not going to be an easy one...
But she never expected it was going to be this hard.
She has joined the Academy in the most exciting year in its history...
'Beyond the Grey' is the second book of the Space Academy Rebels series, started in 'The Mind Drive'.
Look out for the third installment.
