[Finlay O'Riordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would actually be pretty good for younger readers I think. It offers a concise and simple retelling of "Rise Of The Cybermen"/"The Age Of Steel" and the Series 2 finale, along with a short story at the back about two kids fighting a Cyberman survivor from the Battle of Canary Wharf.

It's a good file for kids, though I'm not sure how I feel about its attempt to frame the Cybermen as solely coming from Pete's World and completely ignoring our own universe's Mondasian Cybermen, though I imagine was just probably to stop kids from getting confused.

I looked through this when I was younger.
I love doctor who and it was great learning about the cybermen.
The trivia questions involved were quite easy but that may just be because I know quite a bit about doctor who related things and I know about the cybermen :P
I would recommend these to any doctor who fans because they are informative and great to add to anyones doctor who collection.
