'Hello, sweetie!' Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song...She has
had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time
traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than
most people in the universe. And she's written a lot of it down.
Well, when you're married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you
have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may
not actually have happened to both of you yet. These are just a few
of River Song's exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes,
she is with the Doctor. Sometimes she's on her own. But wherever
and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and
excitement. This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But
it will reveal more than you've ever known about the legend that is
River Song.

Doom's Day is a multi-platform Doctor Who story to celebrate Doctor
Who’s 60th anniversary by introducing a brand-new character on a
24-hour pursuit of the Doctor. As Doom's final hours come into
sharp focus, she'll need to do whatever's necessary to complete her
missions, find the Doctor, and escape what increasingly seems like
the inevitable. But how best to find the person who can save Doom's
life? Will the Doctor's friends be her salvation? Or perhaps the
Doctor's enemies will be the route to survival? Doom is about to
travel across thousands of years of time, and lightyears of space
in search of her last, best hope. But even if she finds the Doctor,
will a person who is all about saving lives help a person whose
only job is to take them? Doom's day is almost over. Time is
running out. This could be the end. Contains four new adventures:
Dawn of an Everlasting Peace by Jacqueline Rayner. Venus, 3975. The
day of the non-aggression pact. The perfect ironic location for an
assassination! But Doom’s mission is about to become much more
complicated thanks to an explosive plot to undermine the treaty
itself. The Howling Wolves of Xan-Phear by Simon Clark. A warring
world of wolves. Doom’s target turns out to be the puppeteer of
the warring Xan: a Silent. But what if she’s already completed
her mission? How will she know? What if this wasn’t even her
mission in the first place? No time to waste. The countdown is on.
A Date with Destiny by Robert Valentine. A romantic dinner turns
life-threatening for an unsuspecting human in 2007. But this time,
Doom has competition. And if she loses, then her last chance to
find the Doctor could be snatched away. Cue an action-packed chase
through the streets of London. But has Doom met her match? The
Crowd by Lizzie Hopley. “Follow the crowd”, that’s what they
say, right? In this case, however, devastation, murder and
destruction follow this particular Crowd - Doom’s next target.
But amongst them - an unfamiliar face, with a familiar name. Could
this be Doom’s salvation?
Old legends and new worlds collide in this magnificent Doctor Who
crossover with King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table.
While investigating a strange energy in Carbury, the Tenth Doctor
and Donna Noble are pulled into a different dimension, smashing a
giant hole into another world in the process. As the magic of the
hidden dimension slowly seeps out, the Doctor and Donna find
themselves in Camelot, where a young squire, Arthur, comes to their
aid, and when the Doctor is mistaken for Merlin, they are swept up
in the glamorous and daring legends of the Knights of the Round
Table. But something far more menacing has been awakened. Caught in
an ancient battle for power, Donna and the Doctor are sucked into a
dangerous game. As each move is made and time spins faster, the
Doctor must find a way to seal the rift before an unimaginable
power is unleashed and the universe is laid to waste.
Are hats for cats?! A big, bossy dog and a determined cat disagree.
This funny rhyming romp--with a large cast of cats and hats--leads
readers to the perfect conclusion: Hats are for everyone! A big,
severe, plaid-hat-wearing dog insists that the small black cat in
the red fez shouldn't be wearing a hat--any kind of hat--because
hats are for dogs. His patronizing tirade doesn't convince this
cat, however. Defiantly, she wears an assortment of hats, described
in the gleeful rhyming text, and brings in other cats to join the
protest. The silliness of both text and pictures offers a cheerful
take on bossiness and managing conflict, with a win-win resolution.
