Synopsis

Everyone's favorite flying car shifts into another dimension as the intrepid Tooting family zooms back and forth through time.When the Tootings return to Zobrowski Terrace at the end of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again, they find that home is looking a lot like Jurassic Park. But this is no theme park—a very real and very hungry Tyrannosaurus rex is charging them! Thanks to Dad inadvertently yanking Chitty's "Chronojuster" lever, the spirited car has flown them back to prehistoric times, where the family—and especially Baby Harry—has a narrow escape. But Chitty has a mind of her own, and the Tootings will get an unexpected tour of exciting times and places from Prohibition-era New York, where Chitty wants to compete in the famous Prix d'Esmerelda's Birthday Cake race, to the lost city of El Dorado and back again, with misadventures and surprise stowaways along the way. Get ready for a hilarious high-flying adventure, with celebrated author Frank Cottrell Boyce behind the wheel.

Okay, the more I move forward into the series, the more I'm enjoying this trilogy read by David Tennant. As a story, it's not the deepest and it's not in the realm of possibility, but honestly, I don't care. It's just a lot of fun to listen to. I can't wait to listen to the last installment so I can......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on September 18, 2019

Such a delightful series! This one picks up where the previous book left off. Chitty is now traveling thru time. What adventures in a charming car! But to be honest, I do think a lot of my enjoyment of this comes b/c I’m doing it on audio. The words come more alive thru the narrator & the background s......more

Goodreads review by Travis on August 23, 2024

Really well done, fun sequel to the original book. The new family is likable, the humor works and there's a nice vibe of grand adventure and family roadtrip. The big problem is this book doesn't need a supervillain. The bad guys are the least interesting thing in the book and any effort to make me care......more

Goodreads review by Roy on November 30, 2021

So much of what confused me in the second book makes much better sense now. Very delightful story that neatly ties up the two time periods the books have essentially been written in, while creating quite the exciting bit of time travel all on its own.......more
