Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? (novelisation)
Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? was a novelisation based on the 2007 TV story Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? With its release, coinciding with the release of The Lost Boy on the same day, all episodes of the first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures were adapted. It is the first time a complete season of a Doctor Who-related series had been fully adapted in novelisation form within a year of it finishing.
