mind of its own careening from the Cretaceous to the Jazz Age,
Venezuela to the Wild West, while folding in references and
tributes to Ian Fleming’s classic tale.
—Kirkus Reviews
Featuring a near-dizzying array of characters—including a reunion
with suave first Chitty owner Mr. Zborowski—and events, from car
races to kidnapping to run-ins with anacondas, this is a lively,
entertaining read that those familiar with the previous title will
especially enjoy. Digitally rendered, cartoonish illustrations add
retro flair.
