''Doctor Who'' novels range the gamut from books for young readers to books for adults. Like comics, ''Doctor Who'' books are written to various reading standards.  [[Target novelisation]]s and [[New Series Adventures]] are typically for younger readers.  [[Quick Reads]] can also be enjoyed by kids who are under 12, but they're actually written for adults with literacy issues.

The tricky books for parents are those written from about [[1992 (releases)|1992]] to [[2004 (releases)|2004]] — that is, the period of time when ''Doctor Who'' was off the air.  In particular the [[Virgin New Adventures]] line was interested in "pushing the envelope".  Although there is no formal book rating "system" out there, '''parents are advised to read these novels first''' before allowing children under the age of 15 read them. The same applies to [[:category:Torchwood novels|''Torchwood'' novels]].
