Echt easy, Frau Freitag!

In the third installment of her bestselling series, Frau Freitag takes on a new seventh grade class that is, unnervingly, almost too well-behaved, while her eighth graders remain as reluctant about English lessons as ever. As in the previous two books, the story unfolds through short, self-contained episodes rather than a single continuous plot.

Frau Freitag, an unflappable teacher at a Berlin school with a largely immigrant student body, recounts the daily absurdities of classroom life with warmth rather than exasperation, taking the school year as it comes instead of grinding through the curriculum. The book reached number 14 on the German bestseller list after its 2013 release.
