When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. 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. When she tries to care for an orphaned gosling, the other animals finally decide to help, and the island starts to feel like home. Until one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.... Heartwarming and full of action, Peter Brown's middle-grade debut raises thought-provoking questions about the environment, the role technology plays in our world, and what it means to be alive.

Feels like a classic! Beautiful slim novel following a shipwrecked robot just trying to make sense of the world and make friends. Thanks for the recommendations here on Litsy, and I‘ll be sure to recommend this to my middle schoolers. 💗🤖🪿🌲

Such a sweet story! 💚

This MG book about a robot who becomes a parent to a goose was adventurous and heartfelt. It explores how humans and climate change are both altering the natural world, but it does so in a very accessible way to younger readers.

I'll admit though, the end got a little futuristic by comparison to the rest, and now I'm curious to see what unfolds in the next book.

The illustrations were also lovely.

Tamra Very sweet ❤️❤️ 1y

I've been reading this with the kids at bedtime for a couple months. We maxed out our renewals at tbe library because we only read a few pages a night after a few picture books. Nina cried when I told her it would have to go back to the library soon, because she wanted to "keep reading it forever." So naturally I bought a copy to keep ? I think its safe to say they loved it! #raisingreaders

Read the first of these 2 books for a Nature read for #Hikeathon and HAD to read the sequel to find out what happened to ROZ, the Wild Robot! The story fed the geeky part of my brain and also warmed the mother in me. That‘s all I will say, but you should listen/read these. The narrator was fantastic, too. #46 & #47 #BookSpin #24 & #25 #BFC22 #SERIES2022 #Pantone2022Colour Loden Frost & Chiseled Stone #Hikeathon #MiddleGradeReads

This was a little surprise! A friend recommended it to me after she read it to her family as a read-aloud, and it did not disappoint. It‘s such a different type of story, in a good way, and I loved how bite-sized the chapters are…good for a busy family to work in here and there. My kids definitely want the sequel.

#reviewcatchup

“Hello, I‘m Rozzum unit 7134, but you may call me Roz.”
Roz awakes (after curious otters push the button on the back of her head) to find she is on an island. She doesn‘t know where she is from, but begins to explore and learn. Initially the animals distrust Roz, but through kindness she makes friends. She finds family and a home in the wild, until a past she is unaware of catches up to her.

These were so enjoyable! 💗

TheBookHippie I have been promoting these for years! They are so good! When the first one came out I insisted it be in the school library and the librarian fell in love with it so much she actually got several copies for classrooms too. So fun. 2y

Roz the robot washes up on shore of an island full of animals. The animals are scared of the robot at first, but eventually they befriend her when she starts to raise a baby goose. This middle grade book is so adorable and the sketches are amazing. This little robot had some much emotion! It was perfect. Great book.

Finished this one on Friday, but I really didn‘t know how I felt about it.

It‘s a middle grade book that will expose them to the reality that different doesn‘t always mean bad or dangerous. It also touches upon the chosen family, finding one‘s purpose, and love and kindness.

I will be reading book 2 soon.

This was a sweet read and perfect for middle schoolers to explore themes of difference, family, friendship and feelings. Simple, accessible language which is enriched by crafted sentence structures. You end up caring for Roz, the robot, and I definitely want to discover out what becomes of her in the sequel.

After hearing me praise this novel, my children asked me to read it aloud to them, which gave me a chance to notice this: "shimmied" where it should be "shinnied." *sigh* Still a good book and very fun to read aloud, just diminished a little in my eyes.

ImperfectCJ Uh-oh...is this a spoiler? I am so bad at recognizing when something's a spoiler, so someone please let me know if I should edit the post to indicate spoileriness. 4y
Butterfinger No I don't think it is a spoiler, but I say "shimmy" for climbing down. Is it a regional thing, do you think? 4y
violabrain I also say “shimmy.” I just looked up both words and the definition of “shinny” is: “another word for shimmy“. So it seems that shimmy is the predominant word. 4y
See All 24 Comments
ImperfectCJ @Butterfinger Not regional, just a common misuse. I think it's one of those that's shifting meaning because of usage, like "nonplussed" and "begging the question." Merriam-Webster even lists shinny as a possible definition of shimmy, so I know I'm fighting a losing battle. :-) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shimmy 4y
ImperfectCJ @violabrain Not according to M-W: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shinny Probably depends on the source. 4y
Butterfinger @ImperfectCJ @violabrain it reminds me of Shania Twain's song Any Man of Mine. You got to shimmy, shake, make the earth quake. 😜 Don't you love the evolution of words? 4y
Sunraven I think I agree with Jan Freeman (at Throw Grammar From the Train)‘s idea that this is basically a dog-whistle edit, but that‘s okay, it gives me a rare chance to use the term “dog-whistle edit.” 😆 4y
ImperfectCJ @Sunraven Well, I think that the difference in meaning makes it more significant than dog-whistle editing, but I can see the argument. As Abe Simpson says, "My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it." ? 4y
Sunraven My understanding of dog-whistle edits is that they can arguably be based on real distinctions, but ones that the general population doesn‘t make, so that the correction doesn‘t increase readability for a large majority of readers. In this case the distinction seems as if it might even decrease readability and add mild confusion, which to my copy editor brain makes it undesirable, but even among copy editors I was considered odd, so, y‘know. 😉 4y
TEArificbooks I use shimmied. I never heard of shinnied. Also the teacher in me says shimmied demonstrates the narrators voice therefore shimmied is the best choice for the word. 4y
ImperfectCJ @Sunraven I think we're using the same definition of dog-whistle editing just with a different threshold. I think of "nauseated" vs "nauseous"...very slight distinction while shinny and shimmy have two distinct meanings (climbing up or down vertically with the use of arms and legs vs a frenetic dancing). Or had until people started combining them. If I were copy editing, I'd note it then let the author choose which to use. I just like shinny. :-) 4y
ImperfectCJ @Sunraven And I keep saying dog-whistle editing instead of dog-whistle edits, which makes me sound like an idiot, but I think you know what I mean. Kind of like when Peter Brown uses "shimmied" here. Meaning is clear, word choice is inaccurate. Or at least imprecise. Darned language. 4y
Sunraven It‘s true, it‘s pretty much my threshold settings for all editing judgements that make me into an oddball. 😁 And if I were editing someone‘s work and they were set on shinny, I‘d absolutely let them have it their way, since it seems like a relatively minor issue. Many other delicious fish await frying. 😆 4y
Sunraven And in my book (Does that count as a pun here? 🤔), language is messy, and using it messily doesn‘t make anyone look like an idiot, so no worries! It‘s the reasoning behind the language that makes me give people the side-eye, personally. And honestly? I like seeing a little mess. Perfection is an (IMO unnecessarily) exhausting standard to chase. 😉 (edited) 4y
ImperfectCJ @Sunraven Messy language can be quite nice, and very useful. My hanging onto "proper" usage makes it tough for me to write realistic dialogue (that and a lack of anything interesting for my characters to say). I will note, too, that it's been a long time since I copy edited professionally, so I might have a little pent-up pedantry. Also, "in my book" definitely counts as a pun. ? 4y
Sunraven My personal pun-ometer has always been calibrated just as oddly as my editing judgement thresholds, although maybe it‘s off in the opposite direction. 😆

And lots of us of the editorly persuasion go through pedantic phases, don‘t we? I had an unusually short one, for some reason — annnd now I suddenly have a handful of offbeatish ideas for writerly flexibility exercises. Haha ... oh, man.

Litsy discussions are good. 😉
4y
ImperfectCJ @Sunraven "Litsy discussions are good." Agreed. Way better than Facebook discussions, and more likely to find language appreciators here! I ❤️ puns, but I find myself using them cautiously. Wordplay doesn't always go over well and often elicits blank stares outside of wordy circles. I would be interested in learning more about your ideas for writerly flexibility exercises... 4y
ljuliel Shimmy is the correct term. Shinny means the same thing. No difference. 4y
Clare-Dragonfly Interesting. I‘ve heard of the word “shinny,” but never used it. When I read that sentence I figured she was moving down the tree by moving quickly back and forth! 4y
LiteraryinLawrence I‘ve always heard it as shimmy! 4y
ImperfectCJ @ljuliel Being used like they mean the same thing and meaning the same thing aren't the same thing. I respect his right to use this word and through repeated misuse, shimmy has become an accepted definition of shinny, but there is still a difference in dictionary meaning (see Merriam-Webster definition of both). 4y
ImperfectCJ @mdm139 There are definitely good arguments in favor of his use of the word. It's still a different word, though. :-) 4y
ImperfectCJ @LiteraryinLititz Yep, I think the similar sound of the words has facilitated the merger of their meanings. I'm still attached to shinny, though. :-) (edited) 4y
Sunraven I think years of practice has given me something of an immunity to blank stares. 😆 (And I‘ve gotten worse than blank stares, so they don‘t seem too bad.) I do try not to bore my audience, at least. 😁

Still thinking about those flexibility exercises! I was just talking about them an hour or so ago. Seriously considering doing something with that crazy idea, and it‘s all thanks to the superior conversational skills of Littens, haha!

Friendship, family, trust, risk-taking, courage, climate change, life, death, fire safety---this utopian middle-grade novel hits them all. It's a delightful combination of whimsy and existentialism, and a whole lot of animals and robots just doing what has to be done. This novel made me think of the old cars and appliances discarded along a hiking trail on former farmland near our house in Massachusetts. It was harder to spot in summertime.

Chelsunderthesea91 Thanks for sharing! I‘m adding this one on my Popsugar challenge list for having AI or robots. 4y

A very cute book about a robot stranded on an island, who learns to be wild with the help of the many animals who eventually accept her. The occasional illustrations throughout were really lovely, and I especially enjoyed the exploration of found family and friendship. Took me a few chapters to really get into it, but once Roz adopted a baby goose I was completely sold.

Tamra It‘s a truly lovely adoption story. My kids liked the sequel just as much, though I‘d say the first is best but the sequel is still worth reading. 5y

#30JuneBooks - Wild Books: Truth...I like reading children‘s literature. It‘s not usually weighed down by the complications of romance or the blasé weariness of an overexposed-done-everything living or the complexity of adulting. It‘s usually just a story reminding the reader that there is a way to still believe that there could be magic, pirates, flying cars, dragons, talking animals, robots & many more fantastical beings. I believe. I believe...

This semester I did my service learning in a 3rd grade classroom. I saw this book sitting on one of the students desk, and the first thing I thought was “I didn‘t know Peter Brown wrote novels!” So I picked it up and decided to give it a try. This SF novel is great! I‘m not a fan of science so this definitely took me by surprise. There was a shipwreck, and all the robots didn‘t make it, but Roz did. She finds herself on an island thinking that‘s

giont where she belongs. However, the animals think she‘s a monster and they want her to leave. Roz learns how to speak in their animal language, and she ends up being a mother, making friends, and has a forever home. Until the robots come looking for her! Does Roz get taken away from her only home?! Read to find out more. You won‘t be disappointed! I would use this as a LC option in my classroom. I think students would enjoy talking about the story 5y
giont and they can even compare it to the natural world. This website has different ideas on how to use this book in the classroom. Such as discussion questions, picture writing, nature journal, and projects on robots. You can easily tie this book in with a science lesson on the environment and adaptation. http://teachingandtechnologyideas.weebly.com/wild-robot.html UDL principle 8.2 (vary demands and resources to optimize challenge) because of the 5y
giont different activities you can do with this book, as shown in the website. ESOL strategies 39 (have students prepare collections of science objects) for the nature part of the activity and 2 (promote cooperation) if you choose to do a literature circle. This book also won the young readers choice award! #LAE3414sp19 (edited) 5y

🤖🌳 You may know Peter Brown for his amazing illustrations from Creepy Carrots or Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, but The Wild Robot shows a different side of his work. This SF novel is about a robot, named Roz 7134, who becomes stranded on an island due to a shipwreck. It was one of the 2017-2018 Sunshine State Young Reader books! #LAE3414sp19

ha_kaye Roz is a sophisticated robot with the ability to use senses like sight, hearing, and smell and is primarily programmed to survive and to help. She has to learn how to survive in the wild and ends up learning how to speak to animals! The animals on the island first thought Rozz was a monster but as the story goes on, Roz acquires a baby gosling and she learns to become a wonderful foster mother. 5y
ha_kaye The story, itself, is heartwarming but something about the simplicity of the artwork adds to that heartwarming effect. This book would make a great RA to share or a LC for students to come together and talk about it. Another fun idea would be to do an AS on Peter Brown! The link provides different activities that go with The Wild Robot, including a Nature Journal and a Side by Side Novel Study. 5y
ha_kaye http://teachingandtechnologyideas.weebly.com/wild-robot.html I would love to integrate a science lesson about animals and ecosystems when reading this book. UDL principle 3.3, guide information processing and visualization, would work great with The Wild Robot because it is a novel but has illustrations to guide that visualization process! 5y
ha_kaye EL strategy 29, offer a variety of reference materials at the students‘ instructional level, would be as easy as giving an EL student a personal bilingual dictionary with unknown words from the story.
5y
DrSpalding Sounds like a wonderful book to integrate into science. You have a few of them! 5y

An excellent way to bring children into the joys of Sci-Fi! In addition to the inclusion of female animal characters (and robots), the book‘s compelling story of exploration and the nature of growth, life, and death will open the door to powerful conversations with children and adults alike!

Can‘t believe I waited so long to finally sit down and finish this one! I loved Roz the robot and all the woodland creatures! This would be a great family or classroom read-aloud.

Tamra It‘s such a sweet story. 5y

This was a cute book. There were pretty big questions that were never answered. It is apparently the first in a series. This book celebrates friendship, learning, survival, and responsibility. It was slow and i am not sure how well it would hold a kids attention. However, it is an interesting take on the “survival” tale.

Tamra Mine really liked it. 😁 I didn‘t like the second as well, but they seemed to. 6y
Nebklvr @Tamra did they say what they liked about it? Might help me recommend it to kids 6y
Tamra @Nebklvr I‘ll have to ask them, it was a couple of years ago. 6y
Nebklvr @Tamra That is ok. No biggie. Just picking your brain 6y
