When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is—but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a violent storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.

As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home—until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.

From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide.]]> 282 Peter Brown 0316381993 Alex 5 Love the book 4.19 2016 The Wild Robot (The Wild Robot, #1)

This is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear who discover that things are always better when they're shared with a friend.

"Peace and quiet!", shouts Rabbit. "That's all I want!"

Ouch. He's hurt his own ears again.

What with Bear's snoring and a BANG! -BANG! - BANG! noice from up in the tree, Rabbit knows that something simply has to be done.

But high in the branches, perhaps Bear can show Rabbit how to see the world from a different place. . .

From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, this is as tale of friendship, wisdom, and how to be really noisy.
