Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the most recognisable vehicles from children’s books (and films) and this collection brings together Frank Cottrell Boyce’s brilliant three sequels to the original story by Ian Fleming.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again finds the Tooting family finding a vast abandoned engine and fitting it to their campervan. It turns out this engine used to belong to an extraordinary flying car and it wants to be back on the road – and in the air – again as soon as possible. As Chitty tracks down her long-lost bodywork, the family get set for an incredible adventure…
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time finds Chitty stuck in reverse – and that means the Tooting family are going on a quest through time. And they’re coming face to face with a terrifying T-rex; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Over the Moon has the Tootings stuck in 1966 and Little Harry and Chitty have both been kidnapped. There’s only one thing they can do – they need to find the Potts – the family that originally built Chitty!

All I want to do is get tickets to see the best band ever, DUDE3, when they come to town. It’s not easy when I’m up against Delia, my weirdo big sister, and all my plans seem to get me into MAJOR TROUBLE.”
