Part of the six books for six decades collection, this incredible story is a 60s love letter to Doctor Who fandom.

It's Christmas, 1963, when nine-year-old Gerald starts dreaming of strange worlds and monsters.

His parents think it's harmless at first. But Gerald is convinced it's real - his dreams of Daleks and cavemen and insects as big as a person.

Desperate for help, what Gerald's family really need, right now, is a Doctor.
