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.
