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 realizes 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.

JIm FUlner reviewed The Wild Robot by Peter Brown

The movie was better

3 stars

I thought the movie was actually better than the book. So I recommend reading the book first if you can in a way then you can enjoy both.

There is less violence and conflict in the book than in the film, so my wife who disliked that in the film may prefer the book here. I'll probably listen to the second one if I can find it on CD, but probably won't spend my own time.

I think it would be a good "chapter book" to read to young readers, unfortunately neither of my kids are ever down for that. Similar stories like Charlottes Web and Stuart Little being read to me by my mom are great memories to this day.
