The Butterfly Club by Jacqueline Wilson
Tina is a triplet, but she’s always been the odd one out. Her sisters Phil and Maddie are bigger and stronger and better at just about everything. Luckily, they look after teeny-tiny Tina wherever they go―but when the girls start in scary, super-strict Miss Lovejoy’s class, they’re split up, and Tina has to fend for herself for the first time.
Tina is horrified when she’s paired up with angry bully Selma, who nobody wants to be friends with. But when Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn’t always need her sisters―and that there’s a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye.

It turns out this engine used to belong to an extraordinary flying car and it wants to be back on the road – and in the air – again as soon as possible. As Chitty tracks down her long-lost bodywork, the family get set for an incredible adventure…
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Race Against Time finds Chitty stuck in reverse – and that means the Tooting family are going on a quest through time.

There’s only one thing they can do – they need to find the Potts – the family that originally built Chitty!
