Overview

When the substitute for Mr. 'Fab' Fabiano never shows up and his sixth-grade students are on their own, they set out to prove that they can run the class by themselves. With a little ingenuity and some careful planning, they might just succeed. But when a fight breaks out between Bastian Fauvell and Rachel White over a classmate, Tommy Feathers, who died six months earlier, everything begins to fall apart. Can Rachel deal with the anxieties that plunged her into silence the day Tommy died? Inventive and uniquely constructed, 'Flying Solo' follows Mr. Fab's students hour by hour as they tackle the challenges of an unusual school day.

Set in sixth-grade classroom 238 of Paulson Elementary School, Flying Solo (1998) American writer Ralph Fletcher’s children’s novel takes place over the course of one day, April 28. Sixth-grade teacher Mr. Fabiano is absent; his students are surprised to learn that their substitute teacher, Mrs. Muchmore, has called in sick. Glastonbury Festival is a greenfield music and performing arts festival on farm land near Pilton, England.It was first held in 1970 and has been held in the majority of years since then in the summer. On 9 August 1982, May smashed the Birch guitar, so the Flying V became the only spare. August – October 1984: The Flying V became a second back-up again as his main spare was the Guild replica. He also used Roger Taylor's Gibson Chet-Atkins Classical Electric. July 1985 – August 1986: Gibson Flying V no longer used. The rest remained the same.
