The Wild Robot Escapes
by Peter Brown
Wild Robot Book Series, Book 2
🚀 ADAPTATION & SURVIVAL
The thrilling sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller. Robot Roz has survived the island, but can she navigate the complexities of the human world?
Extended Synopsis
In the heart-pounding sequel to The Wild Robot, Roz is no longer shipwrecked on a remote island. Having been captured and returned to "civilization," she is now tasked with working on a high-tech farm. While Roz has proven she can learn from the unwelcoming animal inhabitants of the wild, the challenges of the human world are entirely different. She must perform her duties perfectly to avoid suspicion, all while harboring a secret longing for her son, Brightbill, and the island she once called home.
The Wild Robot Escapes follows Roz as she navigates the rigid structures of human society and the moral dilemmas of her own programming. As she plots her daring escape, nature and technology collide once more. This action-packed narrative explores the meaning of home, the bonds of family, and the resilience of the individual against a massive, unfeeling system. Peter Brown delivers a moving exploration of what it means to be alive, whether you are made of flesh and bone or bolts and processors.
