get an unexpected tour of exciting times and places

Buckle your seat belt for the rst-ever follow-up
to Ian Flemings only childrens story.
Fueled by wry humor, this much-anticipated sequel
to the childrens classic by James Bond creator
Ian Fleming featuring a contemporary family and a camper
van with a mind of its own is driven by best-selling, award-
winning author Frank Cottrell Boyce and revved up by
Joe Bergers captivating black-and-white illustrations.
A jolly good ride. The Wall Street Journal
A witty sequel! School Library Journal(starred review)
Boyces modernized sequel to Ian Flemings classic . . . faithfully reects the
elements of the original, and the nods to Flemings book and the subsequent movie make this
retread of the ultimate family road trip even more enjoyable. . . . The Tootings, however,
hold their own when it comes to aptitude for zany adventures, so even readers with
no knowledge of Dick Van Dyke or Truly Scrumptious will want to tag along for the familysrun-ins with car-obsessed thieves, giant squids, and rogue spies. Bergers energetic
line-and-wash illustrations depict a thoroughly modern biracial family,
completing the successful retooling of a beloved classic. Mr. Potts would be proud.
