A real, live one, with her mind firmly fixed on lunch. The previous story ended with them trying to flee Tiny Jack, a nasty piece of work with a seriously horrid Nanny and a fondness for feeding people to his pet piranhas, and as this book opens they find themselves nose-to-nose with a dinosaur. There's nothing like a good villain to spice up a tale, and they come in all shapes and sizes in this, Frank Cottrell Boyce's second book about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. A tiny but very evil villain is trying to steal Chitty, and their attempts to escape have whisked them back in time (landing them, incidentally, right in front of a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex).

Summary: The Tooting family are in terrible trouble.
