The Wild Robot Escapes (The Wild Robot 2)

The Wild Robot Escapes is the enchanting illustrated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling The Wild Robot. For all of those who fell in love with Roz and Brightbill whilst reading The Wild Robot, this book will make you to fall in love with them further, as their bond continues.

Roz is no ordinary robot. After being washed up on the shore of a remote and wild island, she learned to adapt and make it her home, befriend its animal inhabitants and even adopt a small orphaned gosling, Brightbill. But a new life is now beginning for Roz - she has been taken away, far away from her island, back to civilisation, where she must pretend that she is a robot like any other - there to follow orders and to carry out tasks on the farm where she now works. She knows she must never let anyone find out who she really is. And more than anything, she must find a way to escape, back to the island and her beloved Brightbill - a journey that will be fraught with danger and drama, and some very unexpected surprises...

Peter Brown has an incredible talent for creating plot lines and characters which that stay with you long after you finish reading the text. This book, together with The Wild Robot, would be an amazing book to study character, plot and use of language as a class read. This is on my top five books for Year 3 and 4. An absolute must have.
