## About this book

A robot named Roz wakes up alone on a wild island and must learn to survive among its animal inhabitants — eventually adopting an orphaned gosling and becoming part of the wilderness she was never built for. Peter Brown's gentle, illustrated novel about nature, technology, and what it means to be a parent is a grades 4-6 favorite (and now a film).
