The Headless Ghost

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. Isaac Hamilton-McKenzie is a North-West Londoner who first began writing after graduating in 2018, and developing a passion for all things storytelling. He has co-written three books for the MG fantasy series, Future Hero, and is currently editing a high-octane MG action fantasy novel, scheduled for release in spring 2026! When not writing or reading, he loves sports (basketball and football), films (anything with Denzel), and music (mainly Hip-Hop!).
