5 star review of Zero Point Girl on Goodreads
Today I was very happy to read this lovely 5 star review of Zero Point Girl on Goodreads, written by a reader called Zara. I am glad she enjoyed it so much. Rob Holmes - 15th April 2026 Zero Point Girl is a fun, fast-paced sci-fi adventure that feels very accessible, especially for younger readers.

World Book Day.... TICK!
Yesterday was World Book Day, but I actually visited three schools this week to talk to the children about my Master Owl books and Zero Point Girl.

Fab Five-Star Review!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Zero Point Girl - R D Holmes Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2025 One of the easiest 5 star ratings I've ever given. Loved the story and how it progressed, keeping you immersed in the world of adventure on the seas, aliens, facing real-life enemies. Main characters, you can instantly relate to, on a literal voyage of discovery. Would recommend to anyone if any age, even if not your usual genre. Cannot wait to see if there will be a sequel, I

First secondary school visit!
I have just come back from my first author visit to a secondary school to talk to the students about Zero Point Girl. “Rob was one of the most enthusiastic, eloquent and inspiring authors that has ever visited ICC. Students were really engaged and asked very insightful questions that Rob answered with gusto…. Your talk was really fascinating, and the students were very intrigued with the idea of the blurred lines between fiction and really scientific discoveries. “ (From the

Natalie and the cube...
When I first had the download from the universe for Zero Point Girl, I saw it as a movie playing in my mind. That’s why I wrote it as a screenplay first. And now it’s a novel for young adults. It’s fun to think about how Natalie would look in the movie holding the mysterious cube…
