investigating, joined by their new friend Clyde. They soon discover that
the Slitheen have disguised themselves as teachers as part of a deadly
plan which threatens the future of the Earth.
But
as Maria, Luke and Clyde become trapped in the new technology block in
the clutches of the Slitheen and with Sarah Jane under attack from
another of the alien monsters, will the gang be able to stop the
Slitheen before it's too late?

in school with the monstrous child of the Slitheen, Maria, Luke and

gang race back to Sarah Jane's attic to work out how to stop them.
Helped by Mr Smith, Sarah Jane's super-computer, they soon discover that
the Slitheen are going to drain all the energy from Earth using a
worldwide network of giant supercapacitors.
But
as a power black-out starts to spread across the world, taking Mr Smith
out of action, time is running out and the gang have to rely on their
wits alone. Will they be able to save the Earth before the Slitheen
switch off the Sun for ever?
