And because she's described as female, she can serve as a plucky role model. Roz encounters numerous obstacles - the physical terrain, violent storms, the initial hostility of the animals, the loss of a foot, a very harsh winter - but she's resourceful and overcomes all with grace. But Brown takes some liberties - for instance, the animals observe a "Dawn Truce" so they can meet each day as a community without threat of predators stalking prey. For the most part, the animals are characterized naturally, not anthropomorphized. When Roz the robot has to learn to survive on an island, she observes the animals who live there and mimics their behavior. Should we (librarians) put this on the top of our “to read” piles? If you have read its precursor, The Wild Robot, you will definitely want to read this one."Shipwrecked robot" is the clever twist in this wilderness-survival tale that delivers fun information about animal behavior along with lessons about friendship and a heart-tugging emotional punch. Where would you shelve it? Juvenile fiction Who should buy this book? Elementary and public libraries To whom would you recommend this book? Those who read the first book are the prime audience for this book. The accompanying illustrations are an added ingredient to make this story very special.Īnything you did not like about this book? No, but reading the first book is rather essential. This is a futurific world where one robot was defective in a way that made her pretty much human. The journey to the island is fraught with many a danger like how does a robot cross a large body of water and how do you escape wolves? And the Airships that are continually hunting for Roz. His joyful arrival hastens the plan to escape with him and return to their island. She becomes good friends with the two children, Jad and Jaya, playing hide-and-seek with them and telling stories, stories that, for Roz, are true about her life on the Island with her son Brightbill and all the animals. She fixes all the machines, sees to the planting and harvesting and, taking care of the cows, she gets to know them all since she speaks their language. She takes on the job of pretty much running the entire farm by herself. Roz the Robot has been repaired and is now being delivered to her new life on a farm. What did you like about the book? The story begins a little after The Wild Robot ended.
