Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again
by Frank Cottrell Boyce
illustrated by Joe Berger
After Mr. Tooting loses his job, he begins to drive his family crazy with a series of unusual home improvement projects! Just when his family thinks things couldn't get any wilder, Mrs. Tooting brings home a dilapidated 1966 camper van home for her husband to work on. Despite its poor condition, Mr. Tooting and son Jem successfully restore the van. On a trip to purchase parts for their van, they discover an old-fashioned engine that they decide to use in their van. However, once the engine is installed, the Tooting's camper van suddenly has a mind of its own! The family soon learns that their unusual van has wings and is determined to fly them to places all over the world, including Paris and Egypt! What does their unusual van want and where will it take them next?
I have not yet read the original
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Ian Fleming, but after reading this story I know what's next on my reading list! I think of lot of readers will enjoy this story. It is a wonderful combination of humor, fantasy and adventure! I also recently learned that Frank Cottrell Boyce has followed this sequel with another book,
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time, so I am looking forward to reading that book soon as well.
