Zeroboxer by Fonda Lee

Reviewed by Will M.
Grade 12

Who needs gravity? Zeroboxers don't. In this futuristic landscape, Earth is no longer the only habitable planet, Martians are real and outer space is no longer so far away. Valtego Station is nothing more than a tourist attraction in spaces's vast landscape but to Carr Luka it is his second home.

Carr Luka was born on planet Earth whose inhabitants are called Terrans, used more as an insult then a common practice. Carr is one of the few zeroboxers that hail from Earth, but he is also one of the best. But Carr has a sercret that he doesn't even know about. Carr doesn't realize what has happened until is too late. Now he's in big trouble. Can Carr find a way to clear his name, or is everything he worked so hard for meaningless?


The author portrays Carr as a compassionate, yet tough individual. He has vowed to protect Enzo, an underpriviledged pal from Earth. He is both trusting and skeptical. He believes those close to him, but he is wary of those who are not. Carr is also extremely ill tempered and prone to explode in a hurricane of violence, especially at the proposal of bad news. Overall Carr is an intriguing character that keeps you entranced in the book, only putting it down once you have finished.


This book is a must read for anybody who likes a good piece of fiction. It has something for just about everybody: romance, action, suspense, and adventure. This book is beautifully woven together and you almost feel as if you're there, in a trance even. Zeroboxer is a must read indeed.
