Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time
Ian Fleming's beloved flying car shifts into another dimension as the intrepid Tooting family zooms back and forth through history. Thanks to Dad's inadvertent yanking of Chitty's "Chronojuster" lever, the spirited car has ushered them back to prehistoric times. From there the Tootings will get an unexpected ride from Prohibition-era New York to the lost city of El Dorado and back again, with misadventures and surprise stowaways along the way. Get ready for another hilarious high-flying adventure, with celebrated author Frank Cottrell Boyce behind the wheel.

Praise for this book
--Kirkus Reviews
Featuring a near-dizzying array of characters--including a reunion with suave first Chitty owner Mr. Zborowski--and events, from car races to kidnapping to run-ins with anacondas, this is a lively, entertaining read that those familiar with the previous title will especially enjoy. Digitally rendered, cartoonish illustrations add retro flair.

Frank Cottrell Boyce preserves the charm of the original while delivering a madcap escapade that a new generation of youngsters will love.
