Shada was a book in the Eleventh Doctor's bookshop. When opened and read by Amelia Pond, it sent the shop apparently into the book itself. However, any of the books could do this, as the Doctor said not to touch any of the books and that the shop could be "in any story, anywhere in the universe of imagination".
