Revenge of the Slitheen was a novelisation based on the 2007 television story Revenge of the Slitheen. It was published simultaneously with the novelisations of Invasion of the Bane, Eye of the Gorgon, and Warriors of Kudlak, and was thus tied with those three books as the first novelisation of a Doctor Who-related television production since the 1996 release of The Novel of the Film.

Publisher's summary

Life on Earth can be an adventure, too. You just need to know were to look.

When Maria Jackson and Luke Smith start at their new school, they discover that strange buildings are popping up at schools all over London, including their own. Along with another new boy, Clyde Langer, the friends enlist Sarah Jane's help to discover exactly what's going on. But the last thing they're expecting to find is a group of nasty Slitheen intent on destroying humankind!
