Dr. Tenth by Roger Hargreaves

 

The Doctor is on vacation when the planet is attacked by Sontarans.  What will he do when he trapped with one of the invading aliens?


This is one of the Little Men series of books about Doctor Who.  There is a book for each of the Doctors.  As a fan, I found the book to be hilarious.  I would highly suggest it for all Doctor Who fans -- no matter their age.

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 . . .

Celebrate Doctor Who!

This is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.  From the very first Doctor to the current Eleventh Doctor, he has gone on many trips through time and space in his TARDIS with his companions.  In celebration of the 50th anniversary, read one of the Doctor's adventures . . .

The Forgotten Army by Brian Minchin
With the Vykoid army swarming across Manhattan and sealing it from the world with a powerful alien force field, Amy has just 24 hours to find the Doctor and save the city. If she doesn't, the people of Manhattan will be taken to work in the doomed asteroid mines of the Vykoid home planet. But as time starts to run out, who can she trust? And how far will she have to go to free New York from the Forgotten Army?

Touched by an Angel by  Jonathan Morris
In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: 'You can save her.' As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it's up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon.

Borrowed Time by Naomi Alderman
Andrew Brown never has enough time. No time to call his sister, no time to prepare for that important presentation at the bank where he works. The train's late, the lift jams. If only he'd had just a little more time. And time is the business of Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop. They'll lend him some-- at a very reasonable rate of interest. Detecting a problem, the Doctor, Amy, and Rory go undercover at the bank. But they have to move fast to stop Symington and Blenkinsop before they cash in their investments.
