But when she discovers a mysterious painting entitled 'The Lord of Winter' in a charity shop, it leads her on an adventure she never could have planned.

And then, one morning, Kate wakes up to a world changed forever. For the Lord of Winter is coming - and Kate has a very important decision to make.

With its appealing characters, particularly the heroine, Summer Falls is a great children’s book in its own right, and there are enough allusions to the Doctor Who universe to keep die-hard fans intrigued. -- Richard McGinlay * www.sci-fi-online.com *
taken outside of the Doctor Who universe it is an exceptionally sweet little story and beautifully read by Clare Corbett. -- Philip Rowntree * http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk *
