Traveling the Galaxy via…a Lunchbox?
Finn is a typical almost twelve-year-old. He’s got a younger sister who annoys him, he’s struggling to make friends at his new school, he’s being picked on by a bully, and he has a crush on a classmate. His life changes when he accidentally takes his sister’s lunchbox to school one day. When it starts to glow, he discovers that it’s become a portal to another part of our galaxy. On, and this portal is the key to a battle against a race called The Plague that destroys planets. With The Plague now looking at Earth as their next target, Finn is going to have to come up with some kind of plan to save the world.

It’s been a few years since I picked up one of Michael Buckley’s books, so I was thrilled to see he had a new series out. As you might suspect from the description, this is a wild, fast-paced right that I found hard to put down. And I haven’t even mentioned the seven-foot-tall robot yet. I did feel it got a little too apocalyptic for me at times, but that’s a matter of personal taste. The characters are good, although the one that got the most development here was a cliché. The creativity that went into this book is outstanding with lots of details that are fun. Kids will eat this book up and be anxious for the next one when they are done.

Season 25 starred Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Sophie Aldred as Ace and comprised of four serials.

Remembrance of the Daleks was a trip back to 1963 and to Coal Hill School. Two Dalek factions trying to acquire some Time Lord technology the Hand of Omega. We get Daleks exploded, Daleks attacking each other and a superb cast. It is only bested by Genesis of the Daleks

The Happiness Patrol was probably remembered best for it's Bertie Bassett inspired Candyman who some fans thought immature but I loved him. There is girl gangs, a blues musician and an angry dog but Happiness will prevail.

Silver Nemesis was the return of the Cybermen. Plus we see more of The Doctors engimatic side as the race is on to find the living statue of Nemesis. Nice to see the Cybermen still been allergic to gold and also just what is the Doctor's name?

The Greatest Show in the Galaxy is the Doctor goes to the circus. It's fact clowns are freaky and so are bus conductors. As note we also meet Mags here a werewolf.
