Life with the Tootings is the wildest Sunday drive imaginable. – Publishers Weekly Ian Fleming’s beloved flying car shifts into another dimension as the intrepid Tooting family zooms back and forth through history. Thanks to Dad’s inadvertent yanking of Chitty’s Chronojuster lever, the spirited car has ushered them back to prehistoric times. From there the Tootings will get an unexpected ride from Prohibition-era New York to the lost city of El Dorado and back again, with misadventures and surprise stowaways along the way. Get ready for another hilarious high-flying adventure, with celebrated author Frank Cottrell Boyce behind the wheel.
