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.

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'll admit in my endeavour to look into some of the Thirteenth Doctor's highest rated stories on TARDIS Guide, this was not something I was overly keen on looking into, I mean it's hardly something one would proudly display in their collection given the obvious target audience it was intended for. But having said that, as a story meant for little little kids, yeah it works very well, it's kept very basic, has some nice illustrations and surprisingly quite poignant with its theme. Having gone through quite a number of Thirteen's books and stories, I feel had she been written on TV more like how she is in prose form I'd have liked her a lot more. I mean being "socially awkward" and dismissive about Graham's cancer was a huge deal breaker for me when I feel Thirteen in a lot of these books I've covered would've had something better to say.

So yeah, The Runaway TARDIS is an ideal read for your very very little children, now I can go donate this to a local library or school and maintain some dignity.

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.
