New Bukes!

The last time we mentioned the SJA audiobooks coming out this Autumn, they were little more than holding pages on Amazon.co.uk.

Two months on and we're excited to inform you that not only do they now have titles, but vague plot descriptions, too! Huzzah!

The White Wolf, written by Gary Russell and due to be released on September 3rd, sees Sarah Jane and the kids head to the village of Wolfenden after our favourite sonic lipstick-wielding heroine receives a letter from an old friend she can't remember! There, they'll try to uncover the mystery behind the white wolf carved on the hillside, and figure out what it has to do with alien abduction!

The Shadow People, coming out the following month on November 5th, sees Sarah Jane chaperoning yet another school field trip. The last time she did this, the gang found themselves trapped inside a museum and Luke became possessed by a terrifying alien entity known as Ravage!

Seems their school camping trip to Snowdonia isn't going to be any less eventful when Sarah Jane and the kids find themselves stranded in a harsh environment. With Rani seeming to appear in two places at once and a shadowy figure watching their every move, the gang need to unearth the secret of a nearby cave to have any hope of getting home alive!

If two exciting audiobook releases weren't enough, the BBC are spoiling us with yet more SJA merchandise! A 104-page SJA Quiz Book is also due for release on November 5th. Amazon offer the following product description:

"To join Sarah Jane and her friends in investigating alien goings-on, you’ll need first-rate observation and investigation skills! Test what you’ve learnt from all three series of The Sarah Jane Adventures with these fantastic quizzes!"

But that's not all! An SJA novelisation based on the third two-parter of the third series is being released unexpectedly early. The product description has some spoilers for the upcoming wedding episode, so you've been forewarned!

"Sarah Jane is acting very suspiciously. When Luke, Clyde and Rani investigate, with the help of Mr Smith and K-9, they discover something unexpected – Sarah Jane has a boyfriend and she’s going to marry him! Of course, in Sarah Jane’s life, things are not always as they seem and some very special wedding guests ensure this is one day she will never forget!"

I hope we all know at least one of the special wedding guests due to make an appearance in the story! And no, it isn't K9 wearing a bow-tie ;) Well...maybe.

Does the release of this novelisation, out November 5th, mean we'll see eight episode novelisations this year as opposed to the regular four? Or are the Beeb picking and choosing the best four stories? We'll find out closer to Autumn!
