While I'm a good bit older than the target audience, I still found this book to be an enjoyable read. It's a mix between motivational self-help book and footballer's autobiography, as Rashford provides examples form his own life to illustrate the advice in the book.

Bought it only because of Rashford's name, it turned out to be a book focused for kids. But well, main bhi baccha hi hu in some way. Asked some tough questions "what is your dream?..." And i thought "let me live with my existential crisis"

Thank you to @amberivatt of @macmillankidsuk and of course Marcus & Carl for a #gifted copy of the finished book in exchange for an honest review.
As millions across the world have now seen, Marcus Rashford is a young man who has never forgotten where he came from and the journey he has taken to achieve the dizzying heights of where he is now.
Whilst he is only 23, he has inspired the world with his work to provide support for those who were already struggling before the global pandemic that is Covid-19.
This book shows the mentality and attitude behind how Marcus has been able to achieve all that he has, in the very short time he has.
But here’s the thing, Marcus isn’t saying that this is the formula to be a world class footballer...... he is saying that this is how you can be the best that you can be...... in anything that you choose to do in life.
The writing is pitched at the perfect level for 9-11 year olds and I read this with my 8 and a half year old Nico who found it easy to follow and has boosted his confidence not only in his reading but also in himself and his own abilities.

Marcus Rashford is just a wonderful human being and an amazing role model for everyone out there. Firstly, I know I am not the target audience of this book, however, I do feel there is plenty of advice in this book that anyone can listen to. He is truly inspirational and his drive to campaign for the FareShare charity and to encourage reading in children as well is just phenomenal. Also, did not expect this book to make me cry yet the amount of love he has for his mum, his nanna, his family and his friends just made me very emotional! Brilliant man, definitely worth a read.
