childhood of mystery and wonder, of meeting aliens, time travellers, lost princes, intergalactic
robots and so much more – all alongside Sarah Jane Smith.
Sarah Jane is gone. Childhood ends. Everyone grows up eventually. But the story doesn’t stop
there. When Rani and Clyde are reunited, adventure finds them once again – ready and waiting
to take on the world! Contains three new adventures;
Here Today by Joseph Lidster.
Years after her adventures with Sarah Jane Smith and friends, Rani Chandra is a successful
journalist – she’s brought down a government, and her podcast is making waves. And she’s
about to be surprised by a visit from her best friend, Clyde Langer – who has an
announcement of his own.
But, tonight, Clyde isn’t the only visitor to Ealing… In the skies above, a flying saucer
approaches – and only one person on Earth can stop it destroying London!
Destination: Wedding by James Goss.
Rani and Gita Chandra have been invited to a dream wedding on a luxury island resort. But
how did Tiff from school end up marrying a film star? And why has she asked all the worst
people from her life alongside the Hollywood A-listers?
While Gita samples the canapés and criticises the flower arrangements, Rani senses something
amiss… The perfect wedding comes at a price – but who will be paying?
The Witching Tree by Lizzie Hopley.
Chasing a podcast award, encouraged by a secret source, Rani investigates a ‘haunted’
restaurant built around a twisted tree. The owners could be faking the spooky activity, but Rani
soon realises the tree is not what it seems.
As a terrifying threat to planet Earth is revealed, Clyde and Phoenix are dragged into the fight. Rani is torn between revealing the truth, or keeping a secret too terrifying to broadcast....CAST: Anjli Mohindra (Rani Chandra), Daniel Anthony (Clyde Langer), Mina Anwar (Gita
Chandra), Will Bishop (Kristoffay / Receptionist), Tiegan Byrne (Phoenix Laight), Raghad
