To take a robot and bring her to life in such a way that readers like her - love her - and can relate to her, is a lesson in character development. Peter takes two seemingly simple things: robots, animals, but he puts them together and creates a multi-faceted story that readers will find captivating. It's about relationships in so many different ways and that's what makes it fascinating but also what makes the story resonate so deeply. Which is to say it's about relationships. It's about a remarkable, learning robot and all the wilderness friends she makes. The Wild Robot isn't just a story about a robot. Or that I could fall in love with a robot. But it's true. What I Think: If you had asked me, I would have told you that it was highly unlikely that a story about a robot could make my heart race. Or that a story about a robot could make me cry. Until one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her. When she tries to care for an orphaned gosling, the other animals finally decide to help, and the island starts to feel like home. Why is she there? Where did she come from? And, most important, how will she survive in her harsh surroundings? Roz's only hope is to learn from the island's hostile animal inhabitants. GoodReads Summary: When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
