Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Flour Babies is a day school novel for young adults, written by Anne Fine and published by Hamilton in 1992. It features a group "science experiment" in a classroom full of underachieving students: "When his class of underachievers is assigned to spend three torturous weeks taking care of their own "babies" in the form of bags of flour, Simon makes amazing discoveries about himself while coming to terms with his long-absent father. Many year 6 students will do this project to teach them about responsibilities." Fine won two major British children's book awards for Flour Babies, the 1992 Carnegie Medal and the 1993 Whitbread Award for Children's Book, as well as receiving two American honours. Little, Brown published the first U.S. edition in 1994. The teachers were renamed and the students were moved from "Class 4C" to "Room 8" for the American audience. Some libraries report the title Flour Babies and the Boys of Room 8.
