SJA novelisations

The Sarah Jane Adventures novelisations are a series of novelisations based on The Sarah Jane Adventures TV stories. The books carry the BBC logo (and, later, the Doctor Who logo) but are published by Penguin Character Books, not BBC Books, which publishes original novels based upon Doctor Who and Torchwood.

These are the first novelisations of Doctor Who-related stories since 2004 when Doctor Who - Scream of the Shalka (based on the Scream of the Shalka webcast) was published and the first in an ongoing series since The Evil of the Daleks was published by Virgin Books to close out the Target Books novelisations run in 1994.

The complete first season of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been novelised, along with (so far) the first two stories of Series 2. To date only a single Series 3 story, featuring the Tenth Doctor, has also been adapted. Two Series 4 story novelisations were announced for publication on 4th November 2010, and cover art released: the season's crossover featuring the Eleventh Doctor, and a standalone story, however on 18th September 2010 it was announced that these books had been cancelled.
