From the award-winning Frank Cottrell Boyce comes the third official sequel to Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

The Tootings are stuck in 1966! Somebody’s stolen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and left them behind. And Little Harry’s been kidnapped by whoever stole their magical car. There’s only one solution: the Tootings must find the Potts—the family that originally built Chitty. Sharing their combined knowledge of how Chitty works, the families may stand a chance of rescuing Little Harry and finding the most brilliant car in the world. But a fiendish criminal has different plans, ones that involve flying Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to the moon and putting an explosive scheme into action.

Editorial Reviews

Review

As he did with the rest of the series, Boyce keeps up a zippy pace and provides a fantastic, adventure-filled plot, taking the Tootings and Potts from the North Pole to the moon. But after all the dizzying action, he ends the series thoughtfully and happily, while still leaving a glimmer of a chance for more Chitty stories in the future.
—Booklist Online

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.
—School Library Journal

Let's face it, who doesn't love Chitty? This book is great for boys and girls alike. It is full of adventure and surprises.
—Newsday

Frank Cottrell Boyce's series has been a pleasure to read with my children over the last few years. After we had so much fun reading Ian Fleming's original together this continuation has provided hours of shared and memorable entertainment for our family. The illustrations are perfect and the whole series is fun, imaginative, and engaging.

4.0 out of 5 stars An out-of-this-world fun adventure.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014
Amazing motorized machine Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sends the Tooting family to the moon in an out-of-this-world fun adventure. The third title in the series approved by original creator Ian Fleming’s estate, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: Over the Moon includes time travel, harrowing escapes, space travel and wonderful illustrations that bring the characters and mighty car to vivid life.

The story begins with the Tootings stranded in 1966 London, just before the only winning World Cup Final for England. Lucy does not like the micro miniskirts or psychedelic colors, and wants to try and find Chitty with her brothers. Her parents are desperate to see the match, or at least be close to it outside the stadium. When the whole family goes for a ride in the Queen’s Royal car, they realize they are missing Little Harry. While they are in the car, they also witness the famous Big Ben tower take off like a rocket.

They encounter the Potts family, who owned Chitty back when it was green in the 1960’s, and learn that the Potts parents are with Chitty, Little Harry and villain Tiny Jack --- in Big Ben. The two Potts children team up with the Tootings to try and rescue them, only to watch as Chitty is mashed into a tiny cube.

Mr. Tooting is able to fix her in a funny scene involving special paint and time travel, and soon they are flying to the North Pole, only to find Big Ben but no family members. They rendezvous with Tiny Jack on his spaceship and realize he has stolen many of the world’s greatest treasures, including gold Chitty from modern times. They also find the elder Potts couple and Little Harry. Tiny Jack and his evil Nanny force them all to celebrate Tiny’s birthday, and the Tootings realize that they harmed Tiny when they last left him by himself in New York City. He would have preferred to spend his life playing hide and seek in the rainforest as outlined in a previous book.

Tiny Jack convinces several of them to take him to the moon in Chitty for his birthday and they do so, only to have him steal the Moon Buggy and leave them stranded. Meanwhile, the older Chitty is commandeered by Jem and the others who did not travel with Tiny, and they embark on a rescue.

After the two families are reunited, they work together to return all the things Tiny stole, and to return him to a time when he was happy. The resolution of the time traveling is that the Potts must decide where --- and when --- they want to exist in a bittersweet ending.

At times the time travel is mind-bending, but the characters show depth and heart along with the magical car. Even Tiny Jack is shown to be a sympathetic character here. The illustrations add another level of creativity to this enjoyable read. The moon is a creative plot twist and readers will enjoy meeting some famous astronauts there. Fans of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH and the original Ian Fleming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang story will especially appreciate this zany caper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2015
When the Tootings family finds themselves trapped in the 60s, there’s nothing to but just enjoy it. Until they bump into Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the family that owned it in that era. The book starts out a little slow but then jumps right into the wacky adventures (at least I'd call chasing Big Ben and visiting the moon a bit on the wacky side).

Very few things top the original. This is no exception, but it’s still a good book especially for kids (of all ages). Technically it could be a stand alone book but I'd recommend reading the prior books first.

* Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost in order to review it. I offered no guarantee of a positive review, though I only request books I think I'll like because why read a book you think you’ll hate?

2.0 out of 5 stars complex and confusing.
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2013
I pre-ordered this as we had enjoyed the earlier books immensely. Alas, this one is far too complex, with a very confusing ending that left my boy and myself puzzled. NOT impressed with this effort at all. Frank definitely did one too many and clearly lost his way. I heartily recommend the earlier books - my 8-yr-old son loved them. But this one left us all feeling like we'd been dropped on the floor and left to figure out the mess.

My son and I love reading Frank Cottrell Boyce's book together - they are all absolutely excellent and I enjoy them as much as he does!
The Chitty Chitty series is brilliant and we have loved catching up with this the latest installment. Frank Cottrell Boyce is an exceptional writer who resonates with adults too. Our all time fave is Cosmic but Millions and Framed are both funny, witty, touching and an absolutely superb read. FCB's books should be used more in schools as they are perfect for engaging children in literature and provoking them to think about what they have read and the world around them Wholeheartedly recommended!

I just loved this book. It is a must read for all those who like a combination of fantasy, adventure and comedy. I have also read the other two books in this series by Frank Cottrell Boyce and the book 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' by Ian Fleming. But 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Over the Moon' was the best one out of the four books.
