About this deal

Being different does not mean being defective, "Or else we're all a little defective." It's good to be in a place where you can truly be who you are at core and not have to hide aspects of yourself. "Every problem has a peaceful solution. Violence is unnecessary." When life is challenging, others appear who will help you. Love of family is abiding. Once I had a detailed outline of the plot, it was time to write. The first few chapters flowed pretty smoothly. But the further I went, the clearer it became that the plot wasn’t as solid as I’d thought. Certain scenes didn’t make sense. There were too many characters. I needed to simplify the entire story arc. I spent countless hours researching and writing chapters that took place in a zoo, only to decide later that the zoo chapters were problematic, and I got rid of them all. I agonized over the names of each new character, trying to include a variety of names, renaming characters again and again, searching for the perfect name for each one. Aren't we all a little broken and need the loving kindness of others from time to time, a gentle word here and there as a reminder that we matter to someone else? I know I do. The outline had 90 plot points, and I developed each one into its own chapter, so the book has 90 short chapters

Thought provoking… Raises poignant quandaries about the nature of love and selfhood.”― Publishers Weekly This is my 10 year old's current favorite book series. She is now obsessed with robots, and it has inspired her to learn about robotics.So we go from a lush green landscape full of animals and games to streets and buildings and robots working for humans. Since Roz is just another thing for the people there, she gets refurbished and is sold cheaply to a family to work on their farm. Love, love, LOVE this book. Roz is the best and I am willing to go on any journey with her, even if it involves pigeons. The first book in this series was a great adventure/survival story and while this one still has adventure elements it really focuses on gently asking the reader to ponder life's big questions, The ending did bring tears to my eyes. Oh my gosh, yes it did. It was just the best ending to this short series. Did you notice that sometimes the author talks to you, the reader, directly? Why do you think he chose to do that? Have you read other books where the author does that? Will Roz stay on the farm? Will she continue to repair fences, herd cows, plant corn etc., and marvel, in her robot-way, at the wonders of nature, humans, existence here - or ...

This one seemed a little less 'shiny' than the first one and it took a while longer to engage with the story. It was at the end of chapter 8 when I read the words, "And in a single night, Roz became a farmer," that I settled in and felt engaged. Science fiction meets fantasy in this delightful sequel that gives readers a unique look into what technology could someday have in store. A must-buy for any middle grade collection.”― School Library Journal, starred review Are you writing a third book? My nieces in Hobart, Tasmania, (Australia) adore your books! I haven’t seen them so excited about a new book as yours ( for quite a while). But that wasn’t the whole story. You see, from the moment I started dreaming up The Wild Robot, I was also dreaming up the sequel. It would be another survival story, only this time Roz would have to survive in civilization, with cities and humans and other robots. Well, it’s taken a while, but I’ve finally written and illustrated that sequel. If you have a few minutes I’d like to tell you about The Wild Robot Escapes.You inspired me to write my own middle grade children’s book. My sons think it sounds “so much like Peter Brown”. I’m very flattered, but still working hard on the second book in the series, as I try to publish the first. Thank you for your inspiration. I am beyond grateful to you. Actually, my entire family is inspired by you. The farm parts were pretty fun. I loved reading about Roz and how she tried to make the farm profitable again, how she fixed the machines so they worked again. Thanks to her the farm came to life again. And not only that, she even tried making improvements. Helping out the animals around the farm. It was just so much fun, even with Roz missing her family and friends, the island, she still made a new home for her at this place. The Wild Robot Escapes' is the middle-grade sequel to the 'The Wild Robot' both written and illustrated by New York Times bestselling children's author/illustrator Peter Brown. Both books received widespread acclaim, with the first winning and being nominated for many awards. I just adored that everyone had heard the tales about the robot mother and the goose son. How every animal (well, most of them) tried to help her as soon as she revealed who she was. Your books about the Wild Robot are inspiring and entertaining. Now I see you are writing the Wild Robot Protects. I’m wholly invested in this extraordinary series! My favourite character was Brightbill and the things he said as I can just imagine Brightbill doing that.

The 4th grade class was reading this story and I took it out of the library to read and discuss this with my 4th grader…he actually asked me to buy him the book so he could read it over again…We are going to read all three and then I will buy them all for him. Your book is the first chapter book we have been able to follow and discuss. In your first book, I loved all the scientific concepts you have incorporated in the story…I started taking notes for a discussion.Hello, I am Rainer unit 6854 but you may call me . . . umm. . . I haven’t made that part up yet. Anyway, I love the book The Wild Robot Escapes! My favorite part is when the triangular white airship flies over Roz in the park and the RECOs zipped down on cables. I also liked the first chapter because it doesn’t include Roz until the end but it seems like it includes Roz the whole time. I also like how the delivery van zigs and zags around the street. I also like it when Roz gets disguised in weeds and mud you call her “the clump of grass” instead of Roz. It was wonderful to be readin’ about Roz again and seeing how she handles the new obstacles in her path. Unlike the first book that happens in the wild, this book finds Roz dealing with humans and farming and cities. As always she is gregarious, hard-working, thoughtful, compassionate, and fabulous. I adored her entire time working on the farm. Since this is the second book about Roz, do you think there'll be a third? Or do you think the author intends this to be the last book? Did he tie up the story in a way that makes it feel like a satisfying ending? And like I said before, this be categorized as middle-grade. Bah! Don’t let that stop ye! I don’t put age limits on things. Everyone should read about Roz the robot.
