Publisher's summary

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.

After several decades a sequel to the classic

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The three new sequels, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again, Race Against Time, and Over The Moon are all fine, but they are also one long story. I think it would work better as a single longer story, rather than three shorter, incomplete stories.

What other book might you compare Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again to and why?

Not sure. The original had a definite feel of time and place that worked for the story. These are intentionally taking place decades later and therefore have a different feel. What was charming in the original tends to feel just silly viewed in a modern world.

Have you listened to any of David Tennant’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not in Audible, but I have followed his career and he brings some obvious joy and sense of fun to this.

Did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again inspire you to do anything?

It pretty much required you to read the two following books to see the end of the story. There were a LOT of loose ends left hanging - intentionally.

Any additional comments?

Overall, not a bad story, just in the incorrect format in my opinion.

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

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.

surprisingly good

When I purchased it, I did not know it was written by a different author. However, it was very much in the same vein as the first and we really enjoyed it, so much so that we will be listening to the next as well.
