ZEROBOXER Named A Junior Library Guild Selection

ZEROBOXER was named a 2015 selection by the Junior Library Guild. This is awesome because the JLG picks only a few titles each season to recommend and promote to libraries around the country. Needless to say, I’m very happy and honored.


I’m particularly stoked by the way the JLG describes the book. Couldn’t have said it better myself.


Genetically modified superhumans. High-stakes zero-gravity fighting championships. Earth/Mars political strife. Carr Luka, seventeen, trapped in the middle.
