The enchanting new addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling The Wild Robot series from award-winning author-illustrator Peter Brown, packed full of glorious illustrations.

Roz the robot has made an unlikely home for herself on an idyllic island dense with forests, wildflowers, and friendly animal inhabitants - including her own young son Brightbill the gosling. Life on the island is perfect until a dying seal washes ashore and warns of dangerous, cloudy waters that are flowing towards the island, bringing new dangers for the animals.

Forced inland, they will have to fight over fewer resources - and Roz realises that she must march into the waves and undertake an incredible undersea adventure to find a way to protect her beloved island and all who live on it...

From bestselling author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed third book in his New York Times bestselling The Wild Robot series, exploring what happens when nature and technology collide.
