The Lost Boy was a novelisation based on the 2007 TV story The Lost Boy. With its release, coinciding with the release of Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? 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.

But something doesn't seem right. With the help of her friends, Maria, Clyde and Alan, Sarah Jane uncovers a sinister alien plot and a shocking truth about a loyal "friend"...
