School Library Journal - 03/01/2014 Gr 3–6—In this third installment of Boyce's reboot of the classic fantasy/adventure series, the Tootings family, who restored the famous magical car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, find themselves stranded in the past. They are in 1966 London and are unable to return home because their nemesis Tiny Jack has stolen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in their own time. Thus begins another series of wacky adventures as the Tootings team up with the Potts family (who own Chitty in 1966) to thwart Tiny Jack in his evil scheme to steal the world's most expensive vehicle-the Moon rover. Hijinks include the famous Big Ben clock tower blasting off into space, a desperate trip to the North Pole, and Tiny Jack's brazen theft of the Moon rover. Readers will be breathless as they follow the zany action to its conclusion. Black-and-white illustrations nicely augment the adventures and characters and the pacing is breakneck. Recommended for general purchase.—Gretchen Crowley, Alexandria City Public Libraries, VA - Copyright 2014 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
