Main Characters
The diverse class is more than likely in the third grade, as Dorothy Ann celebrated her 9th birthday in "Sees Stars", making the class 8 and 9 years old. In the computer game The Magic School Bus Explores the World of Animals, Phoebe mentions that the class is in the third grade. The school is located in Walkerville, USA, seen in Ep. 24, Out of this World. Note that the books include additional students not seen in the TV adaptation (although Rachel, John, Carmen, and Michael made a few cameos). Only eight of Mrs. Frizzle's students appear in every episode and regularly attend field trips. Additionally, Arnold's cousin Janet accompanies them sometimes. The child actors voicing the students often provided the voices of the callers as well.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or characters:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
