Lacey, Josh (15 October 2011). "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again by Frank Cottrell Boyce – review". The Guardian. London. This edition features fantastic cover artwork from the incredible Steven Lenton. About This Edition ISBN:

He’s the patron saint of plague, cholera and skin complaints. While alive, he performed many wonders.’ ‘Well, you learn something new.’ The conflict in the book is for Damian and Anthony to find a way to get rid of the money in seventeen days because it is in the old form of money and the money system is changing to a new one( Euros). They solve the conflict by Damian saying “what if we find some saints and give some money to them then let’s donate some to the poor”. The next day they try and find where the saints and the poor live, but before they can get to the house where the saints live they see a saint walking past them so they gave him some money from the bag. At the end of the story they were able to change the leftover money at the bank for Euros. That night, Damian’s house is surrounded by hundreds of people who have heard that the family has so much money, and that Damian and Anthony have been so free with it. Damian is both saddened and frustrated at how much people are obsessed with money –whether they truly need it or not –and so brings the money to the railroad to burn it. The police arrive in response to the masses of people, so the man with the glass eye is powerless to do anything.Alison Flood (24 October 2012). "Frank Cottrell Boyce wins Guardian children's fiction prize". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 24 October 2012. Richard Roeper, Roger Ebert's co-host on the television show Ebert & Roeper, called it "One of the most stylish and eccentric films about childhood dreams and heartbreaks that I've ever seen." When the novel begins, Damian, Anthony, and their father have moved into a brand new house in a new neighborhood following the death of their mother. Both brothers handle their mother’s death differently. Damian turns to faith, specifically to an interest in the host of saints that populate Heaven, and Anthony turns inward, pretending to outwardly be dealing with the death of his mother well. Inside, he is heartbroken. Damian and his brother, Anthony, have recently lost their mother, and their father is doing all that he can to raise them well. Damian’s coping mechanism for his mother’s death is to read everything he can about the lives of various saints. Anthony, however, becomes a bit of a financial guru. When a huge bag stuffed with more than 200,000 quid comes flying out of the sky and into Damian’s cardboard “hermitage” (i.e., hideout), the story begins.
