What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Dive into an exciting and mysterious adventure full of fun-filled friendships, fantastical creatures and incredible investigations by the #1 bestselling author Marcus Rashford! Inspired by Marcus’s own experiences growing up, The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond the Fence is the first fiction book by the England International footballer and child-poverty campaigner. Written with children’s author Alex Falase-Koya it’s packed with tons of illustrations by Marta Kissi, making it the perfect book for children aged 8-11. There’s something fishy going on at school . . . When twelve-year-old Marcus kicks his favourite football over the school fence, he knows he’s never getting it back. Nothing that goes over that wall ever comes back. But when Marcus gets a mysterious note inviting him to join the Breakfast Club Investigators, he is soon pulled into an exciting adventure with his new mates Stacey, Lise and Asim to find out what is lurking on the other side of the fence - and get his football back! Perfect for reluctant readers, don’t miss the Breakfast Club Investigators next adventure in The Ghoul in the School! ‘Breakfast Club guaranteed I had the best possible start to my day and welcomed me with open arms. It wasn’t just about food. It was about forming friendships, about togetherness, about escape. It was where some of my greatest memories were made. I want to capture that feeling in my debut fiction book.’ - Marcus Rashford MBE
