TY BANG BANG HIT YC and the Race Ag T ains IT t Ti by Frank Cottrell Boyce CH me illustrated by Joe Berger
Everyones favorite flying car shifts into another dimension as the intrepid Tooting family zooms back and forth through time.
When the Tootings return to Zborowski 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 T. rex is charging them! Thanks to Dads inadvertent yanking of Chittys Chronojuster lever, the spirited car has ushered them back to prehistoric times, where the family (and especially Little Harry) make 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 dEsmereldas 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. FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE is a writer of books for young readers, most notably Millions, winner of the Carnegie Medal, and Cosmic, which garnered six starred reviews. He is also the author of The Unforgotten Coat. Frank Cottrell Boyce lives in England. JOE BERGER is an editorial cartoonist, animator, and illustrator.

Ian Flemings heirs, who have commissioned numerous James Bond

sequels, turned to Boyce to continue Flemings 1964 story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car, and Boyce delivers. . . . This first volume in a planned trilogy is hilarious and endlessly entertaining Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Boyces modernized sequel to Ian Flemings classic . . . faithfully reflects the elements of the original, and the nods to Flemings book and the subsequent movie make this retread of the ultimate family road trip even more enjoyable. . . . The Tootings, however, hold their own when it comes to aptitude for zany adventures, so even readers with no knowledge of Dick Van Dyke or Truly Scrumptious will want to tag along for the familys run-ins with car-obsessed thieves, giant squids, and rogue spies. Bergers energetic line-and-wash illustrations depict a thoroughly modern biracial family, completing the successful retooling of a beloved classic. Mr. Potts would be proud.

also loved fast cars and this love spurred him to write his only childrens book, for his little boy, Caspar, about a car that could fly. Published just after Flemings death in 1964, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car became an immediate bestseller. It has been reinvented as a musical and as a film (with the screenplay written by Roald Dahl) and inspired two sequels written by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
