A boldly original and beguiling wild adventure.
*Piers Torday, author of THE LAST WILD*
An engaging tale that explores many important themes. We can only
hope that Roz serves as the template for all future robots. Peter
Brown's illustrations are as marvellous as ever!
*Coralie Bickford-Smith, author of THE FOX AND THE STAR*
The Wild Robot has all the pathos and grace of The Iron Giant or a
Studio Ghibli animation. It is nonetheless its own thing, a
delicate, touching tale of survival, friendship and family.
*Financial Times*
A strikingly illustrated novel... a beautiful story in so many
ways, with a lot of depth about what it means to be a parent, to be
part of a community, to be different, to make mistakes, to care for
others and to overcome others' distrust.
*Juno Magazine*
This is such an odd, original, thought-provoking and heartwarming
tale. The book is a meditation on what it is to be human and, at
the same time, an incredibly fun adventure. Readers will lose their
heart to Roz and it's a truly gripping read. The illustrations are
also enigmatic and beautiful. This is really a perfect children's
book that stays with you long after finishing; a modern-day classic
in the making.
*Booktrust*
A heartfelt story for ages six-plus about how even the oddest of us
can find friends - we need Peter Brown to tell his fellow Americans
how what seems strange and threatening can turn into love and
joy.
*New Statesman*
A moving and captivating tale about friendship and emotion, it is
also beautifully illustrated by the author.
*WRD Magazine*
Robot sentience meets maternal love in the renowned
author-illustrator Peter Brown's first foray into writing for older
children, The Wild Robot (Piccadilly). Reminiscent of Ted Hughes's
novel The Iron Man, with some of the curious, timeless quality of
William Steig's Abel's Island.
