Tooting is able to manoeuvre the family away from the meat-eaters and into a more current period, they find themselves in the heart of the early 1920s New York City, where Chitty's famed creator, Count Zborowski, greets them warmly and challenges them to race in his newly perfected Chitty Chitty Bang Bang II. Apparently, the 'chronojuster' has the capacity to toss Chitty Chitty Bang Bang through time, an added layer of excitement for the Tootings. Picking up where the previous story ended, the Tootings find themselves in an epoch of which they are not familiar, with a Tyrannosaurus Rex breathing down their necks. Frank Cottrell Boyce offers up a cute and informative piece that will surely last the test of time. As I continue to explore the adventures of this most exciting vehicle, I have come to see why young readers the world over would be drawn to this series.
