Inspired by Marcus’s own experiences growing up, The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond the Fence is the first fiction book by England International footballer, child-poverty campaigner and bestselling author Marcus Rashford MBE. In October of 2020, Marcus was appointed an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. He has committed himself to combating child poverty in the UK and his book, called “You Are a Champion”, which was written with Carl Anka, is an inspiring guide for kids about reaching their full potential.Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10 and an England International footballer. Paul McGuinnness, former United youth coach, soon saw Marcus’ potential because of his athleticism both off and on the ball. Yet during his early years on the team, he often was forced to miss training since he found it tough to get a ride because of brothers and mom working. He eventually got assistance from coaches that helped him find drivers to get to practice. With a book that includes emphasised words in a text, how do you decide which are the important words to stand out?

ALEX: Well, um, this is the type of thing where we kind of do-, it's all a real team effort. So we have loads of book designers who, um, look really hard at the text and think about what are the type of things which, um, are words that can catch the audience's eye. Um, and they kind of help, er, put that all together. LAURA: Yeah, that's good. Thank you. And finally, when you're writing, do you ever read the words out loud to see how it sounds? And do you think it's important to use lots of EXPRESSION when reading out LOUD?!

Summary

MARTA: That's right. And it's a nice way because when you're using a pen like s- like this one you can't rub it off. So you just draw the line in there. MARTA: It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't even have to join together. Because, again, our eyes change all the time anyway.

ALEX: So the first thing I think about is what do I want the setting to do in- as part of the story? Um, how do I want this place to feel? Um, how do I want the audience to feel about it? And then when you can go from there, when you know what you want, um, you-, how you want the place to feel, then you- you go through your senses. Think about your smell, um, the things you can hear, the things you can see. And then just really go through there, and, um, and using that you can really craft a- a setting. I wanted to create something that really captured the true spirit of breakfast club. Outside of making sure we got the best start to our days with cereal, toast and juice, it was where my friendships were made. Where we could just lose ourselves. A safe haven,” said Rashford. “Breakfast club was where some of my greatest memories were formed, where we talked about our dreams and where adventures were planned, and it was important for me that we captured that in my first fiction book. Alex is a great writer who is able to capture that brilliantly and I’m thrilled that he’s on this journey with me.” Rashford said the book club was designed to “get the right books in the hands of children who have very limited access to them” and offer “an escape from environments that can be quite challenging and to find the joy in reading”. The Beast Beyond the Fence” is the first novel in the “Breakfast Club Adventures” series and was released in 2022. There is something fishy going on at school. Thank you so much.
