The Wild Robotic (Quantity 1)

An incredibly moving story, we can’t wait for a sequel!
A review from my 10 year old:This book is about a robot named Roz, short for Rozzum, a robot that was supposed to be transported to a factory but the ship was sadly sunken and she was washed up on a island. She had to learn to survive in a place that a robot would never be in. And she finds many different techniques to do so. The robot goes on many exciting adventures and gets lots of friends that you might not expect including her own adopted son who happens to be a duck named Brightbill whose family was crushed by an avalanche. She was living a happy life until her creators find out where she is and don’t like that she is living in the forest. I think this book is about the interaction between nature and technology. On his blog Peter Brown wrote, “Back in 2008, while working on a picture book called The Curious Garden… I loved imagining scenes of nature living in surprising places. And that got me thinking about scenes of unnatural things living in surprising places” ([…]). The robot is a piece of technology but she can learn to live in the wild which makes me think that one of the meanings of this book is that people today can still stop pollution and destruction of the natural world. I also think that the author was trying to tell the readers that no matter who you are you can do anything. The robot was having trouble in the forest at first but she started to learn and get better by watching animals. I also think that the book is about not giving up. Even after all the animals were scared of her Roz kept trying to be friendly and finally became friends with all the animals. One amazing thing about this book is the artwork witch makes sense because Peter Brown was an artist before he was a writer. Another thing that I liked about this book is that it makes me feel sad but gave me hope that things will get better. The third thing that makes this book unique is that it has very creative ideas. In one of the scenes in the book Roz loses her foot to a bear and then cant walk. And then she asked the beavers to make her a new one out of wood. That is one of the many creative scenes in the book. This book was very good in my opinion. It was one of my favorite books I’ve ever read and i would very much recommend it. This book is creative, well written, and interesting. I think that it is a great book and think its definitely worth reading. I don’t want to give away the ending but is very dramatic and emotional. Roz has to draw on all of her friendships and skills she has learned from them to survive.

Great book for 8 years old boy
My 8-year-old son, who usually prefers graphic novels, thought this book might be too hard at first. It’s a thick book with over 300 pages and barely any pictures, so he planned to read 30 pages a day. But once he started, the story captivated him, and he finished it in just a few days! This is the first time he’s been able to read such a long book, and now he’s eagerly waiting for The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects.If you’re looking for a perfect bridge from graphic novels to chapter books, The Wild Robot series is a fantastic choice. The story is engaging enough to pull in young readers, even if they’re not used to reading longer books. Highly recommended for any reluctant reader.

We loved the book. We read it to our class. It made us feel sad, happy, and many other emotions. Thank you for writing such a good book.Medan Independent SchoolPYP Grade 3 -4 ClassMedan, Indonesia
