About
The enchanting illustrated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling THE WILD ROBOT, by award-winning author-illustrator Peter Brown
Roz is no ordinary robot. After being washed up on the shore of a remote and wild island, she learned to adapt and make it her home, befriend its animal inhabitants and even adopt a small orphaned gosling, Brightbill.
But a new life is now beginning for Roz - she has been taken away, far away from her island, back to civilisation. Where she must pretend that she is a robot like any other - there to follow orders and to carry out tasks on the farm where she now works.
She knows she must never let anyone find out who she really is. And more than anything, she must find a way to escape, back to the island and her beloved Brightbill - a journey that will be fraught with danger and drama, and some very unexpected surprises ...

Follow him on Twitter @itspeterbrown One robot, one extraordinary adventure The New York Times bestseller is now published in the UK for the first time With rights sold in 15 languages and over 100,000 copies sold around the world, this is a book that has been loved by many A title to sit alongside such distinctive books as Ted Hughes' THE IRON MAN, Sara Pennypacker and Jon Klassen's PAX, Shaun Tan's THE LOST THING, and Dave Shelton's A BOY AND A BEAR IN A BOAT With beautiful black and white art throughout, this is a book to cherish: perfect to read aloud and enjoy with a younger child, or for an older child to read alone The author Peter Brown makes the characters come alive with his convincing, descriptive storytelling. The story is very exciting from start to finish - it only took me a few days to read it because I couldn't put it down. Brilliantly drawn and surprisingly touching, this merges the mechanical with the human beautifully. Roz the robot might not have any emotions, but the story is full of them with the children and animals she meets... a heartfelt story, and with short chapters it's an easy read! The Wild Robot Escapes packs in plenty of heart. It's a deceptively simple story, one whose goal is mapped out as early as possible, ensuring a hook-laden narrative from beginning to end. Its darkness may be persevering, but you find yourself immersed in Roz's mentality, her simple way of thinking and the stripped down storytelling complementing each other. Roz's journey is fraught with danger at every turn, but it's well worth every turn of the page.
