When the robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she finds herself stranded on a remote, untamed island. With no memory of how she arrived or why she was sent there, Roz must quickly learn to navigate this harsh and unfamiliar environment. Initial encounters with the natural world are challenging: she survives a fierce storm and narrowly escapes a vicious bear attack. Realising survival depends on adaptation, Roz begins to observe and learn from the island’s unwelcoming animal inhabitants.

Gradually, Roz's efforts to understand and fit into her new surroundings pay off. As she mimics the behaviours and routines of the animals, she slowly begins to earn their trust. Friendships form, and over time, the wild landscape starts to feel more like home. However, just as Roz begins to settle in, her mysterious past emerges, threatening her newfound harmony.

The Wild Robot, by bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown, is an enchanting and thought-provoking novel that explores the intersection of nature and technology. The narrative weaves together moments of humour, suspense, and heartfelt emotion, creating a compelling story that leaves a lasting impact. This heartwarming tale underscores the importance of adaptation and connection in the face of adversity, making it a must-read for fans of both adventure and science fiction.

Developed with a keen sense of wonder and beautifully illustrated by the author, The Wild Robot captivates readers of all ages, drawing them into a world where the boundary between the organic and mechanical blurs. Peter Brown masterfully crafts a story that is as entertaining as it is profound, inviting readers to reflect on the bonds that tie humanity to the natural world. Don't miss this soon-to-be major DreamWorks animation that promises to bring Roz's remarkable journey to an even wider audience.
