The Wild Robot /

Can a robot survive in the wilderness?

When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is - but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a violent storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realises that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants. As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home - until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her. From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide.

Notes

REVIEW

★ "Brown has written a lively tale that is sure to engage young readers." - The New York Times
★ "Roz may not feel emotions, but young readers certainly will as this tender, captivating tale unfolds." - The Washington Post
★ "Peter Brown's picture books are consistent bestsellers and critically acclaimed. Expect readers to go wild for his robot-themed novel." - Booklist
★ "While the end to Roz's benign and wildlife is startling and violent, Brown leaves Roz and her companions--and readers - with hope. Thought-provoking and charming." - Kirkus Reviews
★ "This strong debut middle grade novel by the acclaimed picture book author/illustrator is a first purchase for most middle grade collections." - School Library Journal
★ "Brown's middle-grade debut, an uplifting story about an unexpected visitor whose arrival disrupts the animal inhabitants of a rocky island, has a contemporary twist... Brown wisely eschews a happy ending in favour of an open-ended one that supports the tone of a story that's simultaneously unsentimental and saturated with feeling." - Publishers Weekly
★ "Roz is not easy to forget." - The Horn Book
