Martin's school is no ordinary school. There are snowball fights, kidnappings, cakes, a parachute jump, a mysterious man called 'No-Smoking' who lives in a railway carriage and a play about a flying classroom.
As the Christmas holidays draw near, Martin and his friends - nervous Uli, cynical Sebastian, Johnny, who was rescued by a sea captain, and Matthias, who is always hungry (particularly after a meal) - are preparing for the end of term festivities. But there are surprises, sadness and trouble on the way - and a secret that changes everything.
The Flying Classroom is a magical, thrilling and bittersweet story about friendship, fun and being brave when you are at your most scared. (It also features a calf called Eduard, but you will have to read it to find out why).

From School Library Journal Gr 4–6—First published in 1935, this new translation introduces readers to the entertaining exploits of five boys in a German boarding school. A consistent tone of gentle, ironic humor pervades the book, starting with the prologue in which the author himself shares his unusual writing process. The story involves a school play, a battle between the schoolboys and the local town boys, and a reunion between two long-separated adults, among other plot threads. Lively stretches of crisp back-and-forth dialogue are balanced by the narrator's frequently amusing observations and commentary. A description of a "truly terrifying dictation test" is one of many expertly written humorous passages. While the antics include fistfights, pranks, and other mischief, more serious themes of family and friendship run through the tale, along with philosophical discussions about courage, poverty, and "what's fair and right." The five featured kids all develop into distinct characters, with Martin (the leader) and Johnny (the writer) taking more major roles. Trier's original line drawings, usually one per chapter, add just the right touch of visual detail and support the humor. Not surprisingly, there's an old-fashioned, sometimes sentimental vibe to this 80-year-old tale, which might limit the potential audience, as might the complete absence of any key female characters. The sly wit and creative storytelling are quite fresh and engaging, though. VERDICT A lesser-known work that will be appreciated by readers who enjoy humorous classics.—Steven Engelfried, Wilsonville Public Library, OR
Review
"a memorable exploration of bravery, boyhood and friendships that last, albeit in a world that would soon vanish." — The Wall Street Journal"Originally published in 1935 and charmingly illustrated by Trier, Kästner's (Emil and the Detectives) pleasingly sentimental tale of early 20th-century boarding-school life gets the opportunity to reach a new audience, courtesy of Bell's new translation." --Publishers Weekly
'A little masterpiece... Read it and you will be happy' Maurice Sendak
'Marvellous' Philip Pullman
'My favourite book as a child... funny, exciting and very atmospheric' Michael Rosen
Praise for Emil and the Detectives:
'Walter Trier's deceptively innocent drawings are as classic as Kästner's words; I never tire of them' Quentin Blake

13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. A real and poignant adventure By M. Ioveva This is one of my favorite children's novels of all time - it is absolutely unique in its portrayal of boys during adolescence. It was translated in Bulgarian along with three other of Kastner's novels and as such it comprised one of the most read collections for kids for more than 4 generations. Even today, every average Eastern European seems to know about the story and considers it close to their heart. And as for me, I was in love with Martin for a few years, at least!And as comic moments go, the little Uly sitting in the trashcan which dangles from the ceiling, as his father, the teacher, is wondering aloud what kind of parents allow their son to miss school, has to come in the top ten.
