When robot Roz crash lands on an island, she’s forced to fight for survival. The only way Roz can live is by learning about her new environment from the island’s hostile animal inhabitants. But when she finds herself taking care of a baby goose, all the animals pitch in and teach Roz how to thrive in this new world.

Heartwarming and full of action, Peter Brown’s debut will raise thought-provoking questions about the role technology plays in society, how humans affect the world around us, and what it means to be alive.

What a wonderful book! I've loved every minute! I've not seen the film but the book is a real journey of discovery, full of exploration about what it means to be a friend and what family is all about. Just beautiful. The audio book is fabulous, too.

A beautiful book about the power of nature, friendship and family. Suitable for 8+. Full of gorgeous illustrations that lift the characters off the page. Short, snappy chapters with great cliffhangers.

I love it because it’s about a robot!

This is an absolute masterpiece for readers aged 8 - 12. However, its emotional intelligence makes it equally gripping for adults. With incredibly short, punchy chapters and beautiful grayscale illustrations drawn by the author himself, it reads like an accessible modern fable. A fantastic read.

I like ROZZUM unit 7134 (AKA Roz). She is adventurous, brave and cares for Brightbill and her friends. I wanted to read the book because we used to have it, but my cousin borrowed it and has still got it! Another reason why it interested me is that I have already seen it at the cinema! I would definitely recommend it to someone else.
