The Wild Robot
Book 1 of the The Wild Robot series
A carelessly discarded robot named Roz wakes on a remote island and must learn survival by observing its animals. After adopting an orphaned gosling, she becomes part parent, part neighbor, and part threat in a world that does not know what to make of her. The island's community changes as Roz learns empathy and the animals learn trust. Gentle and thoughtful, this nature-centered adventure suits family reading about technology, belonging, and chosen family.
