PlotMr. Fabiano is a sixth-grade teacher who calls in sick on April 28. When his class arrives, they discover that their substitute teacher has not shown up. The class decides they will not report this to administration and decide to run the classroom by themselves. The students follow the instructions left by their teacher, and all goes fairly smoothly. However, at the end of the day, during a special assembly when all of the teachers are supposed to come up on stage, the class is discovered. Characters
ThemesSeveral of the topics explored in the novel include selective mutism, death, and grief.[1] ReceptionSusan P. Bloom in her review for Horn Book Magazine was positive, saying "this kaleidoscopic novel is more thoughtful and poignant than most school stories, while still appropriately leavened with comic moments"; it "demonstrates an utter respect for its characters and its readers, who will appreciate the honest and uncondescending portrayals."[2] Julie Siebecker reviewing for School Library Journal said that "the prose is economical but not sparse, and the characters are developed as sketches rather than in-depth portraits, which helps keep the book moving briskly. Not a must-have but a worthwhile purchase."[3] Nancy J. Johnson in her review for The Reading Teacher said that "Fletcher's characters are realistic and complicated. They rely on the writing lessons Mr. Fabiano taught them to explain, understand, and uncover the challenges of growing up and facing independence."[4] Notes1. ^{{cite book|last=Ward|first=Marilyn|title=Voices from the Margins|publisher=Information Age Publishing|date=2006-06-06|pages=36|isbn=978 -1593114008|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SSiUYIqefMkC&pg=PA36&dq=%22flying+solo%22+fletcher}} 2. ^{{cite journal|last=Bloom|first=Susan P.|date=December 1998|journal=Horn Book Magazine (Nov/Dec98)|volume= 74|issue= 6|pages=728–729|issn=0018-5078}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Siebecker|first=July|date=October 1998|title=Flying Solo|journal=School Library Journal|volume= 44|issue= 10|pages=135|issn=0362-8930}} 4. ^{{cite journal|last=Johnson|first=Nancy J.|date=November 1999|journal=Reading Teacher|volume= 53|issue= 3|pages=234|issn=0034-0561}} External links{{Portal|Children's literature}}
