Product description
Review
A great story of developing young friendships, delving into some of the issues children of this age group may be facing, and helping them find the tools they need to grow with confidence. -- The Liverpool Echo Children's Book of the Week
About the Author
Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10 and an England International footballer.
During the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcus teamed up with the food distribution charity FareShare to cover the free school meal deficit for vulnerable children across the UK, raising in excess of 20 million pounds. Marcus successfully lobbied the British Government to u-turn policy around the free food voucher program – a campaign that has been deemed the quickest turnaround of Government policy in the history of British politics – so that 1.3 million vulnerable children continued to have access to food supplies whilst schools were closed during the pandemic.
In response to Marcus's End Child Food Poverty campaign, the British Government committed £400 million to support vulnerable children across the UK, supporting 1.7 million children for the next 12 months.
In October 2020, he was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Marcus has committed himself to combating child poverty in the UK and his book You Are a Champion is an inspiring guide for children about reaching their full potential.
Alex is a London native. He has been both reading and writing since he was a teenager; anything at the cross-section of social commentary and genre fiction floats his boat. He was a winner of Spread the Word’s 2019 London Writers Awards for YA/children’s. He now lives in Walthamstow with his girlfriend and two cats. He is the cowriter of Marcus Rashford's debut children's fiction title The Breakfast Club.
Marta Kissi is a Bath based illustrator, originally from Warsaw.
She studied BA Illustration & Animation at Kingston University and MA Visual Communication at the Royal College of Art. Her favourite part of being an illustrator is bringing stories to life by designing charming characters and the wonderful worlds they live in. She shares her artist studio with her husband James and their pet plant Trevor.

About the authors
Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10 and an England International footballer.
To date, the 24-year-old has made over 180 appearances for club, donning the captain’s armband on one occasion, and has racked up 46 caps for country since breaking onto the scene in 2016 when he became the youngest English player to score in his first international match.
In addition to his on-pitch activity, Marcus is renowned globally for being a child food poverty campaigner and best-selling children’s author.
In the Summer of 2020, Marcus began a campaign, named End Child Food Poverty, that would see 1.7 million vulnerable children supported via a £520 million Government investment, in a quest to eradicate child hunger from across the UK. This campaign has been deemed the quickest turnaround of Government policy in the history of British politics. His Parliamentary Petition is 1 of only 5 to ever exceed 1 million signatures.
Along the way, Marcus has formed a Child Food Poverty Taskforce and launched ‘Full Time Meals’ – a nationwide food education and cooking project designed to equip all children with vital life skill, building confidence in the kitchen.
In the year working with Marcus and the Taskforce, food distribution charity FareShare distributed 130 million meals to the most vulnerable across the UK. In May 2020, Marcus became the youngest person to be ranked number one in the Sunday Times Giving List, the newspaper’s annual measure of ‘generosity of those financially best equipped to make a difference’.
In November 2020, Marcus launched the Marcus Rashford Book Club in partnership with Macmillan Children’s Books, aimed to distribute books to an estimated 400,000 children in the UK who had never owned one, working alongside Magic Breakfast and the National Literacy Trust to reach those children most in need. The Book Club is a reader’s recommends programme that champions and celebrates difference, placing representation at the forefront of its mission. Marcus’ debut book ‘You are a Champion’, co-written with Carl Anka, is a children’s Number 1 best seller and was named ‘Book of the Year’ in 2021 by WH Smith and Sainsburys. His ambition to enhance engagement in, and promote, literacy for all children has been commended by book sellers and the publishing industry, recently picking up FutureBook Person of the Year and my Bag Breakthrough Author of the Year.
In July 2020, Marcus received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Manchester, becoming the youngest person to receive the accolade in the history of the establishment. In October 2020, he was appointed MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. In addition, he won a Special Recognition Award at Pride of Britain 2020, was a recipient of the City of Manchester Award, was an inaugural winner of the FIFA Foundation Award, recipient of a Special Award at BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year, a recipient of the Football Writers’ Association Tribute Award, and was listed on the TIME Magazine’s ‘100 Next’ list, as well as Forbes ’30 Under 30’ list.
Children’s author Alex has been reading and writing since he was a teenager. His debut novel ‘Marv and the Mega Robot’ was inspired after Alex struggled to find superheroes in fiction who looked like him. By creating Marv, a superhero whose strengths are kindness and imagination, Alex hopes to have created a character to whom all children can relate. A previous winner of Spread the Word’s 2019 London’s Writers Awards for YA and Children’s, Alex lives in Walthamstow with his girlfriend and two cats.
Marta Kissi has enjoyed drawing ever since she can remember. After joining numerous art clubs and art classes she eventually went on to study BA Illustration & Animation at Kingston University and MA Visual Communication at the Royal College of Art. Originally from Warsaw, Poland she is now lives in Bath, England where she shares her attic artist studio with her husband James and their pet plant Trevor.

It's OK, my youngest got a bit scared of the creature but we did manage to get to the end with all of us listening.
There were some really lovely bits that really get you thinking about life and what's important, however for me (as a grown up) I was rather disappointed with the end, however my eldest enjoyed it and my youngest liked the ending.
If he did a second book we'd probably give it ago. If it's kids only reading then they'd probably a winner.
