MARTA: I know, it's actually been recently translated into English. Uh, it's been translated in many languages before, but not English. ANd I think recently has, so.

Dive into an exciting and mysterious adventure full of fun-filled friendships, fantastical creatures and incredible investigations by the #1 bestselling author Marcus Rashford! 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

The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond The Fence” was co-written by Marcus Rashford MBE and Alex Falasse-Koya and illustrated by Marta Kissi. The first interview could be used to inspire children to work together on a collaborative piece of writing in groups of three, with different roles for each child: illustrator and co-writers. ANTHONY HOROWITZ: My favourite book character ever? Tintin. It's the reason why I started writing. I mean, Tintin is a sort of an adventurer. He has lovely friends. He travels all over the world. And he's a writer. And when I was a little boy, I loved Tintin.It was a phone! She then called mountain rescue. And when she got home, she had a dinner of nice warm sausages. MARTA: I absolutely, I love this whole moving things with your mind and, uh, that would definitely be my preferred. Can you imagine how many drawings I could do? LAURA: Yeah, Fantastic Mr Fox is a good character. I actually dressed up as Fantastic Mr Fox for our World Book Day here.

Falase-Koya said that books were always “a refuge to me and a place where my imagination could be ignited” when he was growing up, and he hoped that The Breakfast Club Adventures would catch “the imagination of all the children”. Kansi on sentään hyvä ja nimi selvästi myy, sillä kirja lähtee kyllä esittelytelineestä kivasti lainaan. Tosin kirja myös palaa heti seuraavalla viikolla (jäänyt kesken?), enkä ole saanut siitä vielä ainoatakaan kehuvaa palautetta. ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Thanks, Laura. Have a great summer, everyone. Read lots of books. And don't be like Laura. Avoid seagulls. The "Underpants of Chaos" co-authors, Sam Copeland and Jenny Pearson, will be talking all things chaos and evil underpants. But first, we are joined in studio by Alex Falase-Koya and Marta Kissi, who worked with Marcus Rashford on his latest book, "The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond the Fence."ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Oh, Laura, you're in trouble. You are in trouble, Laura, I'm not great at quizzes.

LAURA: Alishea, I know you love to present Book Club when Rhys isn't here. But I promise you I will not present Book Club while you and Rhys aren't here. Oh, sorry, Alishea, kkkk, kkkk, you're breaking up, kkkk, I can't hear you, kkkk, kk. Perheen parikymppinen bongasi heti Rashfordin nimen kirjan kannesta ja selitti seikkaperäisesti kenen kuuluisan futarin tekele minulla oli hyppysissäni, joten toiveet nousivat hankalasta kirjan nimestä huolimatta (selitäpä suomalaisille lapsille aamupalaklubi...). Tätä voisi ehkä myydä futisjannuille pelkällä kirjailijan nimellä. Mutta voi pettymysten pettymys. Jaarittelevassa juonessa ei ollut päätä eikä häntää eikä kirjassa edes pelattu futista. Etsittiin vain jotain ihmepalloa koulun aidan takaa, jonne kukaan ei muka mene kouluajan jälkeenkään. Kaverikiemuroissa ei ollut oikein pontta ja hirveä hirviökin osoittautui pelkäksi antikliimaksiksi. Kirja oli myös aivan liian paksu niille lukijoille, joille se mahdollisesti oli suunnattu. Marcus Rashford used his experiences as a child at a 'breakfast club' to write his book. Can the children think of any positive experiences in their lives as inspiration for a story? In response to Marcus's End Child Food Poverty campaign, the British Government committed GBP400 million to support vulnerable children across the UK, supporting 1.7 million children for the next 12 months.Marcus Rashford campaigned for the government to provide free school meals. He also campaigns against racism and homelessness. This could be used as a starting point to look how the lives of others have been improved by the caring actions of a particular person. Anthony Horowitz, CBE explains his love of storytelling and how, as a child, Tintin was his favourite character. This could be used as a starting point to explore comic strip books such as Tintin, looking at the differences between them and novels. The children could use the comic strips as an inspiration to draw and write their own.
