With the help of her friends, Maria, Clyde and Alan, Sarah Jane uncovers a sinister alien plot, and a shocking truth about a loyal 'friend'.

General Notes
- The Lost Boy was published at the same time as the novelisations based on Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, The Last Sontaran and The Day of the Clown.
- Although he had previously written numerous books based on Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures, Gary Rusell would achieve a unique hat-trick in 2008 by writing books based on Doctor Who (Beautiful Chaos), The Sarah Jane Adventures (The Lost Boy and The Last Sontaran) and also Torchwood (The Twilight Streets). Not forgetting finding the time to pen The Torchwood Archives (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com) under his occasional pen name Warren Martyn.
- The Lost Boy is a sequel to the opening story of Season 1 of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Revenge of the Slitheen.
