Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together footballer Marcus Rashford MBE's debut fiction adventure and his bestselling life-guide for kids. The Beast Beyond the Fence, co-written with Alex Falase-Koya and illustrated by Marta Kissi, opens the Breakfast Club Adventures series with a mystery-packed school adventure. You Are a Champion, written with Carl Anka, shares Rashford's own story and practical tools for building confidence and resilience. Together the two titles offer an exciting story world plus real-life inspiration, making this collection a well-rounded choice for home shelves, classrooms, and gifting.

About the Books
The Beast Beyond the Fence is the first book in Marcus Rashford's Breakfast Club Adventures series, following twelve-year-old Marcus and his friends after a football kicked over the school fence sets off a chain of strange, funny events. Written with children's author Alex Falase-Koya and filled with Marta Kissi's energetic illustrations, the story moves at a brisk pace with themes of friendship, teamwork, and standing up for what's right. You Are a Champion takes a different shape: part memoir, part practical guide, drawing on Rashford's own path from a boy in Wythenshawe, South Manchester, to an international footballer and campaigner. Co-written with journalist Carl Anka, it breaks big ideas - goal-setting, resilience, empathy, speaking up for others - into short chapters supported by illustrations and infographics, and has been recognized as a bestseller. Read side by side, the fiction title gives readers an absorbing story to lose themselves in, while the life-guide hands them tools they can use in everyday life. Both books carry Rashford's voice and values clearly, making the pairing work well as a gift set for middle-grade readers and the adults raising them.
