Synopsis:
"Mickey is startled to find a statue of Rose in a museum - a statue that is 2,000 years old. The Doctor realises that this means the TARDIS will shortly take them to ancient Rome, but when it does, he and Rose soon have more on their minds than a sculpture.
While the Doctor searches for a missing boy, Rose befriends a girl who claims to know the future - a girl whose predictions are surprisingly accurate. But then the Doctor stumbles on the hideous truth behind the statue of Rose - and Rose herself learns that you have to be very careful what you wish for..."

"Tennant is a talented voice artist, so he provides a wealth of different voices for the characters in the book. His imitation of Jackie is particularly effective - his rendering of Mickey less so.
The aged Roman Gracilis sounds rather like Prince Charles, while the thuggish "sculptor" Ursus reminds me of Russell Crowe.
Tennant's rendition of the GENIE comes across as not unlike London Mayor Ken Livingstone or the Ferengi Grand Nagus Zek in Sta.
Naturally, his impersonation of the Tenth Doctor is perfect! And because he reads in his native Scots brogue, it's easy to tell where the authorial voice ends and the Doctor's speech begins.
Rayner and Tennant get across the fact that the Tenth Doctor is more of a man of action than his predecessor was."
