Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time

by Frank Cottrell Boyce
sequel to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again
SORRY BORROWED THIS IMAGE FROM amazon.co.uk YOU CANNOT REALLY CLICK TO LOOK INSIDE!!

Rating: ****` (4.5 stars)
Age group: 8+
Type: Fantasy-ish

The Tootings are back and this time they have discovered the Chronojuster--the lever that allows their car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to go back in time!!!!!!! So they do. They meet the original owner of the car, Count Zborowski. But they also discover two hardened criminals and a little boy called Red who is obsessed with money. Red accidentally turns the Chronojuster and off they go, zooming through time! But Tiny Jack is back, and with even more evil to bring... what will happen?
This book is also funny, especially since Lucy (who was really goth in the first book) is actually turning into a giggly teenage girl (!!!). This book  is more complex and harder to understand than the first one, but at the end, all the loose ends caused by the first book are wrapped up, plus most of this book's loose ends, and again there is a cliffhanger ending making everybody want to read the next book. Some things in this book: lucky cufflinks, the year 1966, and the lost city El Dorado!!! This is a a great book. :)
