Wild Robot Book Series, Book 1 | Now a Major DreamWorks Motion Picture
🤖 NATURE VS. TECHNOLOGY
Wall-E meets Hatchet in this #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated novel exploring survival, adaptation, and heart in the wild.
Extended Synopsis
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers she is alone on a remote, rugged island. She has no programmed purpose for the wilderness and no memory of how she arrived. To stay functional, Roz must survive violent storms and a vicious bear attack, realizing her only hope lies in observing and befriending the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
As Roz learns to communicate with the wildlife and adapts her mechanical nature to the rhythms of the forest, the island slowly begins to feel like home. However, the equilibrium is threatened when her mysterious, high-tech past eventually catches up with her. The Wild Robot is a heartwarming, action-packed narrative from Caldecott Honor winner Peter Brown that examines the beautiful, often complex collision of technology and the natural world.
