Doctor Who: Wishing Well by Trevor Baxendale

3.0

---

A New Series novel by Trevor Baxendale and featuring a monster living down in a well. If each New Series 3-book release features a horror tale, a romp and a sci-fi story, this one is definitely in the first category. Baxendale manages a few very real chills even while staying in the "suitable for young readers" mode. The guest characters are all well drawn as are the Doctor and Martha, which usually makes for a good reading experience regardless of the plot. But the plot's good too, if at times a little too much like Forever Autumn.
