Roz has returned.
We have been waiting in anticipation to read what happened to our favourite robot after the end of The Wild Robot had our hearts caught in our chest.
🤖
Roz, a robot stranded in the wild yet learned to adapt to the world around her only to be ripped out of it. She finds herself in a new environment longing to get back to the place she barley survived- the wild she calls home.
🤖
A robot that speaks the languages of animals, and feels love. A robot like no other, she must hide who she really is. In this adventure Roz meets her designer, they both have many questions for each other. The most looming question of all, what happens to "defective" robots? Robots that can think for themselves are threatening to human existence.
🤖
As intelligent and thought provoking as its predecessor. With thoughts of A.I. and emotional intelligence, it reaches the older crowd yet equally packed with adventure and love to keep the younger crowd hanging on every word.
If you have a reluctant reader or you want to start cultivating a love for reading- this book is a catalyst.
Age: 7-12 (age 5+ for a wonderful family read aloud)
We are excited to host our first international book club for The Wild Robot Escapes for ages 7-12. Link in bio.
