The Marcus Rashford Book Club

The Marcus Rashford Book Club is a reader-recommends programme created by England International footballer and child food poverty campaigner Marcus Rashford MBE and Macmillan Children’s Books, to encourage and nurture a love of reading in children.

Macmillan Children’s Books has partnered with children’s food charity Magic Breakfast to launch the Marcus Rashford Book Club, donating 50,000 free books through the charity and reaching children in over 850 primary schools across England and Scotland.

For too long, the joy of reading has been restricted by whether or not a family has the contingency budget to purchase books. The children who often miss out are those on Free School Meals and users of Breakfast Clubs, who more than likely need fiction, and non-fiction, to escape reality from time to time. We haven't been affording these children the option of reading for fun but that changes today.

Introducing Book 1 in the Marcus Rashford Book Club

Macmillan Children's Books are pleased to announce the first book in the Marcus Rashford Book Club. Publishing in June, A Dinosaur Ate My Sister by Pooja Puri and illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan is a middle-grade laugh-out-loud, fully-illustrated time travel adventure. 

A Dinosaur Ate My Sister : A Marcus Rashford Book Club Choice - Pooja Puri

Esha Verma is a GENIUS INVENTOR.

And she’s just created her most brilliant invention yet: A TIME MACHINE. (Ok her sidekick Broccoli may have helped. A bit.)

But when her IGNORAMUS big sister Nishi accidentally gets STUCK in the age of the dinosaurs, Esha and Broccoli must face: terrifying T-rexes, mysterious black holes, glitchy inventions and a new recruit for The Office Of Time on a PREHISTORIC RESCUE MISSION to get her back.
