Buckle your seatbelt for the first-ever follow up to Ian Fleming’s only children’s story.

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 much-anticipated sequel to the children’s classic by Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond featuring a contemporary family and a camper van with a mind of its own is driven by best-selling, award-winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce and revved up by Joe Bergers black-and-white illustrations.
