Review

The Tooting family is stranded in 1966, having lost both Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Tiny Jack as well as the soccer World Cup. Raucous adventure ensues as they have to go to the moon to save Chitty. This book is fast paced with a lot going on throughout the story. At times, it becomes hard to follow, but readers will be breathless as they follow the preposterous adventures of the family and the car.

Overall Book Score: good
