Dive into the first Breakfast Club Investigators mystery with Marcus and friends!

This spooky adventure is the first exciting book in the series by England International footballer and bestselling author Marcus Rashford MBE. Inspired by Marcus’s own experiences growing up!

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!

Written with Alex Falase-Koya and packed with tons of illustrations by Marta Kissi, The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Beast Beyond the Fence is the perfect book for children aged 8+.

Join the Breakfast Club Investigators on more adventures in The Ghoul in the School and The Phantom Thief.

I recommend the book The beast beyond the fence by Marcus Rashford to people who like mystery books. In this book Marcus's ball goes over the fence and in the breakfast club one day he joins the BCI (breakfast club investigators) to try and get his ball back.

I thought that it was very good because I liked when they found out that the chupacabra was a dog and Asim adopted it

I guessed the ending half way through the book. I struggled with the different sized writting in the book.

These kids started a club to investigate paranormal activity. This book takes place when they start the club. The story starts with our main character Marcus (Rashford), who joined the club to get his football that he lost when he kicked it over the school fence. It was from his older cousin, and he needed to get it back. And he met a ton of new friends in the process, not knowing it would come to that.

My favourite part of the book was when they thought a little cute dog was a big scary wolf and they went though lots of adventures just to realise that it was not a wolf it was just a dog and it was funny to realise that all this adventures was just to get a football back!

I liked Stacey best because she was really interested in the supernatural and loved investigating with : Marcus,Asim and Lise. I would recommend this to somebody who likes mystery and fantasy books.The one thing I really liked about this book was that it was well written and I would have not been able to predict the ending.

I loved the ball bit and how they made a trap. I didn't like the part when they got caught sneaking through the fence by the teacher. I liked the breakfast club and the making friends.

It was cool. I like that he found his football. I like that even though things change it helps you grow.
