Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Book 2

By: Frank Cottrell Boyce

Narrated by: David Tennant

Buckle your seat belt for the first ever follow-up to Ian Fleming's only children's story.

When the Tooting family finds an old engine and fits it to their camper van, they have no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead. The engine used to belong to an extraordinary car, and it wants its bodywork back!

But as the Tootings hurtle across the world rebuilding the original Chitty, a sinister baddie is on their trail - one who will stop at nothing to get the magnificent car for himself.

Fueled by wry humor, this sequel to the children's classic by the creator of James Bond - featuring a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own - is written by bestselling, award-winning author FrankCottrell Boyce.

Clever, But . . .

At first it surprised me that it went all present day in the story, but then I thought the original was really a present day piece when it was written also. Then I was confused about why the vehicle didn't more resemble the one in the original, but that got answered throughout the book in a really clever way.

My only complaints are:
1. It seemed to be mean toward the French which didn't fit the first book.
2. I've never been a fan of obvious cliffhangers to lead into the next book.

I'm still quite interested in the series and look forward to reading them all.

My 8-year-old Loved this

My son, who is 8, loved this book. The performance of the narrator is very engaging.

lots of fun

Lovely continuation of Chitty's story, modernized and true to the flavor of Fleming's original work ...unlike the ridiculous Disney film.

Excellent reading of an excellent story

David Tennant does a wonderful job bringing the characters alive in this creative, interesting story that will keep people of all ages engrossed. Definitely every reader should start with the original story about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and follow through with the rest of the series. 

My Kids are Obsessed.

I got the Chitty Bang Bang series cause who doesn’t love David Tennant, and it’s a good thing I do since this audio book is on constant rotation. I think my son has honestly listened to the series 5+ times in constant order. Fun story + excellent narrator=good family listen
