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.

Sweet and satisfying conclusion with some action and suspense. Highly recommend this duo to upper elementary or as a read aloud to kids 8+. Enjoyed both audio versions but would like to see his drawings, I'm sure they're additive.

❤️❤️❤️ I mean. Come on! Middle grade literature is where it's at, folks. And I'll say for the hundredth time, if you aren't reading it, you are missing out!!!
Peter Brown expands the series, in my opinion, by making a much more contemplative and introspective addition where he seemingly attempts to answer the question "what is life?" There is action, joy, grief, suspense, and a satisfying conclusion, all the traits of a great story. My kid loved it.
