Books for Fans of Doctor Who

Doctor Who is one of my favorite programs on television.  I have heard many teens and adults also express their love of Doctor Who.  So this week, I thought I would share some books for fans of Doctor Who.  These are books that contain elements similar to the Doctor's adventures . . .

Black Hole Sunby David MacInnis Gill
On the planet Mars, Durango and his crew of mercenaries are hired by the settlers of a mining community to protect their most valuable resource from a feral band of marauders.

Stravaganza: City of Stars by Mary Hoffman
Georgia, who loves horses as much as she hates her bullying stepbrother, buys a figurine of a winged horse and finds it has magical powers that transport her from present-day London to the sixteenth-century world of Talia where , in the city of Remora, similar to Sienna, Italy, she finds danger and intrigue as well as friendship and a chance to perfect her riding skills.

Curse of the Romanovs by Staton Rubin
In 1916, teenaged hemophiliac and heir to the Russian throne, Alexei Romanov, escapes into the future to elude the murderous Rasputin, and meets his modern-day cousin, Varda, who is working on a cure for hemophilia and who wants to help change history by saving his family.

POD by Stephen Wallenfels
As alien spacecraft fill the sky and zap up any human being who dares to go outside, Josh and Megs, living in different cities, describe what could be their last days on Earth.

Only You Can Save Mankind by Terry Pratchett
Johnny endures tensions between his parents, watches television coverage of the Gulf War, and plays a computer game called Only You Can Save Mankind, in which he is increasingly drawn into the reality of the alien ScreeWee.
