Synopsis
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The heartwarming and action-packed illustrated novel exploring what happens when nature and technology collide.
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is 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 fierce 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, her mysterious past comes back to haunt her.

A boldly original and beguiling wild adventure.Piers Torday, author of THE LAST WILD
An engaging tale that explores many important themes. We can only hope that Roz serves as the template for all future robots. Peter Brown's illustrations are as marvellous as ever!Coralie Bickford-Smith, author of THE FOX AND THE STAR
The Wild Robot has all the pathos and grace of The Iron Giant or a Studio Ghibli animation. It is nonetheless its own thing, a delicate, touching tale of survival, friendship and family.Financial Times
