The author Peter Brown makes the characters come alive with his
convincing, descriptive storytelling. The story is very exciting
from start to finish - it only took me a few days to read it
because I couldn't put it down.

Brilliantly drawn and surprisingly touching, this merges the
mechanical with the human beautifully.

Roz the robot might not have any emotions, but the story is full of
them with the children and animals she meets... a heartfelt story,
and with short chapters it's an easy read!
*Creative Steps*
The Wild Robot Escapes packs in plenty of heart. It's a deceptively
simple story, one whose goal is mapped out as early as possible,
ensuring a hook-laden narrative from beginning to end. Its darkness
may be persevering, but you find yourself immersed in Roz's
mentality, her simple way of thinking and the stripped down
storytelling complementing each other. Roz's journey is fraught
with danger at every turn, but it's well worth every turn of the
page.
