Synopsis

Lizzie is running away. She hates her new house and her new school, so she packs a bag full of peanut butter sandwiches and says goodbye to her family. But when she stumbles upon a mysterious blue box in the woods (that's bigger on the inside!) Lizzie embarks on a much grander journey than she had planned. The box is called the TARDIS and it's piloted by a mysterious woman called the Doctor, who claims to be a time-traveling space alien! Lizzie doesn't like new places, so she asks to be taken home. But when she accidentally drops a peanut butter sandwich down the console, the TARDIS malfunctions, and the Doctor is no longer able to steer! The Doctor and Lizzie embark on a wild adventure through time and space, visiting the Pyramids, dinosaurs, the surface of an alien planet, and more. But will Lizzie be able to get back home? And will she learn that new places aren't so bad after all?

This was such a feel good little adventure. Obviously I'm not the target audience, but I wish I had this as a kid it was so lovely.

It's wonderful how much Doctor Who can be able to be for everybody and then have certain Things more targeted at Young Adults, Teenagers, Adults, or even the smallest of Kids, like this one.

This was just a fun little Time to read with some incredible cartoony Designs for the Doctor and some very nice Environment, it's simple yes, but I think it does its Job well. I could see how you would read this to your own Child (if you have one, of course) to introduce them to the World of Doctor Who, it does give this certain Sparkle of Wonder, which is always fitting for an Entry Point.

While I am by no means the Target Audience, I still think this is a Quality Children's Book, which I can recommend highly for anybody who maybe wants to introduce their Kids to the World of Who. And for everybody else: Read it if you can, it's fairly short!

I just had a wonderful time reading this to my four-year-old daughter. This was her introduction to the world of Doctor Who, and it does a fantastic job at that. It features time and space travel and adorable aliens. The story revolves around Lizzy, who feels lonely after moving to a new school and decides to run away from home. In the woods behind her house, she discovers a strange, big blue box...

It's a fun story for younger kids. After sharing this moment with my daughter, I couldn’t give it any other rating than 5/5.
