The enchanting illustrated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling THE WILD ROBOT, by award-winning author-illustrator Peter Brown

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 …

In my opinion, this was a great book. I liked what happened in Chapters 83 to 84 (it makes more sense if you read Chapters 78 to 82 before). I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in robots, animals and/or adventure.

This book is about a robot on an island.

Just kidding, we’re not doing a short review. This robot was on an island that I’m not going into further detail on - go and watch the movie. So, she’s now in a truck, going to Hilltop Farm. A farm with a man and two kids; their mother died. They needed a robot to do the farm work. The robot couldn’t tell any of them about her life on the island, or else she’ll be sent back to the factory to be destroyed. This book has action, emotional scenes, violence and is heartwarming at the same time.

PS- The robot’s name is Roz.

I thought it was a quite creative story and funny and it had a bunch of drama in which made it quite funny.

An excellent sequel to The Wild Robot. The author has created many new characters that the reader instantly warms to. Another exciting read of survival, friendship and family.

Have become very fond of Roz! This sequel had new challenges for her in the human world and it didn't disappoint. Must read the third book now!

I really liked this book because it was exciting when there were three Recos on the tree trying to catch Rozand it was really funny when Roz did a backflip when the children’s asked to do a backflip.

Didn’t love it quite as much as The Wild Robot but still a lovely continuation of the stories of Roz and Brightbill with some new characters added in too.

I liked this booked because the wild robot does escape.

10 Aug 2022

I thought this book was brilliant, because it changed from a farm with lots of nature to a city with loads of robots and people. It showed Roz's journey, in a way. My favourite characters were Roz and Brightbill, because they had a really close relationship and it showed how much they loved and cared for one another. My favourite parts were the reunion and when Jaya and Jad tried to take out Roz's Transmitter, because I found it funny how they argued with each other about taking out too many tubes and boxes. I thought they were very resilient, because they kept doing things wrong and then in the end they managed to get it right. I think it was also because they were desperate to help Roz. It was also funny when they said, "Roz, we order you to escape." I recommend this book for 8, 9 or 10 year old people, because it is about a robot trying to escape and some bits may seem violent to younger children. I also liked when Brightbill didn't recognise his mother and he quizzed her all about their life together, before he finally decided that she was his mother. I think it was quite interesting when Roz met her designer and then they hugged near the end. I enjoyed The Epilogue too, because it brought you right back to where the whole adventure started, like a beginning.

I liked the flying airship. It made me feel excited because some parts were amazing.

I loved The Wild Robot (read aloud as a bedtime read to my children aged 4 and 6) and I think I enjoyed The Wild Robpt Escapes even more!

The descriptions of nature were so beautiful in the first book, but I loved reading about the relationships in the sequel. I think young readers will find it more engaging too as it has more action throughout and is pacier.

08 Jul 2022

I liked Roz best. I would really recommend it to someone else. 5 out of 5.

Fantastic story about Roz the robot.

22 Aug 2021

This is the longest book I’ve ever read - I can’t believe there are 90 chapters!

20 Aug 2021

I have already read the other book in the 2-book series, which was just as good as the other. I like the fact that Roz has feelings and has a goose son, unlike any other robot. I also like the children because they helped the robot escape, even though they would miss her a lot.

The Wild Robot Escapes is another amazing book about Roz the Robot, who got taken away from her home on the island, where she was looking after a gosling called Brighbill.
She was sent to Hilltop Farm where Roz made some new friends - two children and some cows. The children, Jaya and Jad, helped Roz plan her escape from the Farm.
In spring Roz met Brightbill again, and they managed to leave the Farm. But their adventures only started here. Roz had to fight a wolf in a forest, and in the city she faced an attack from RECO robots.
Roz’s hope grew when she met her maker Dr Molovo, and Roz and Brightbill got a ride back home.
My favourite character is Roz because she is curious and brave, and she loves nature - although she’s a robot.
The Wild Robot Escapes is a book filled with adventures and lots of ups and downs.
I think this book is a great read for anyone aged six and above.

09 Aug 2021

I thought the wild robot escapes was amazing.
I like when Roz unit 7134 gets back to the island. I also like when the children romoves Roz's tracker.
I like roz because I tried to build a robot and also like the children because they helped Roz unit 7134 to get back to her island.
The book intrested me to read it because of the adventure.
I would like many people to read this fasanaiting book.
