The perfect spooky read for Halloween.
There’s only a week to go before the school play when things start going wrong in rehearsals. Sets crash over, lights go on and off and the fog machine has a mind of its own. There are rumours that a headless ghost has been haunting the dressing rooms and ruining rehearsals with its ear splitting screech.
Marcus and his friends must work together to solve the mystery before opening night. The show must go on, so it’s a good thing the Breakfast Club Investigators never give up!
Written with Isaac Hamilton-McKenzie and packed with tons of illustrations by Marta Kissi, The Breakfast Club Adventures: The Headless Ghost is the perfect book for children aged 8-11. Join the Breakfast Club Investigators on more adventures in The Phantom Thief and The Treasure Hunt Monster!

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.
