The Wild Robot Escapes (The Wild Robot 2)

Product Information

In 2016 I published my first children’s novel, The Wild Robot. It’s the story of a robot named Roz and her struggle to survive on a remote, wild island. As it turns out, Roz doesn’t just survive, she adapts, and learns to communicate with the wildlife, and then she develops animal friends and even a family. Roz makes the island her home. Hi Peter, Please make more books as we found out about the Wild Robot and then we found out about the Wild Robot Escapes. I really want more books about Roz. You make your books so exciting, amazing and perfect. You’ve taught me how birds fly in formation and that some (most) robots are really nice. My favourite character is Chit Chat because she is like me. I love squirrels and all they do. You make me feel happy, sad, dramatic, angry and all emotions. My favourite part is where Roz is with Brightbill. Its so sweet. Please make 4,5,6 more books!! Roz described as female, so can be seen as brave, adventurous female role model. She loves her adopted son, risks everything to return to him. Roz is famous in the animal kingdom as a robot who's adopted a gosling, so the two can be seen as a stand-in for adoptive and nontraditional or multiracial families. Roz is true to her nature, but also open to growing and developing as life presents opportunities. The children, farm animals love Roz but help her escape because they know it's best for her. Other kind animals help her. Female designer who created Roz is a gifted programmer, created her own company. My books have all presented their own challenges, but no book has challenged me quite like this one. I had to develop a futuristic world, filled with futuristic technology and characters and settings; I had to make sure everything was believable and that the science made sense; I had to tell a story that readers could relate to, that was exciting and warm and honest, and use language that flowed when read aloud. There were so many considerations that it seemed like I’d never make it all work. But I just kept going. I gave this sequel absolutely everything I had, and I did so because of you, my readers. Your response to The Wild Robot was so incredible that I was determined to make this sequel meet your expectations. I hope with all my heart that I succeeded. I hope you enjoy The Wild Robot Escapes.

The Wild Robot Escapes - Goodreads

Ahoy there me mateys! I fell in love with Roz in the first book, the wild robot. While I try to post no spoilers, if ye haven’t read the first book then ye might want to skip this post. If ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . . The Wild Robot Escapes' follows on from where the last book left off - Roz has been captured and refurbished ready to be put to work on Hilltop Farm for the Shreef family. Typical of Roz, she befriends all of the animals on the dairy farm, not to mention the farmer's children with her outgoing personality. However, she longs to be reunited with her goose son, Brightbill. as well as the other animals from the island, and plans to escape. She is helped by a number of sympathisers but eventually is detained by the robot police and returned to the factory where she is reprogrammed to rid her of her personality which is deemed a malfunction. Will Roz manage to escape before they reprogramme her? Or will she be destined to serve humans for the rest of her days?Of course, the book is also illustrated. I loved the art in the previous book, and I loved it in this one. The style just fits perfect with the writing style. Suffice to say this: if you've got a seven to eleven-year old boy in the house, and if he likes/loves robots, he will prob. enjoy this one. Or a girl! What am I saying here! I was once a little girl and I'd have loved this book! (I said boy at first as it was an eleven-year old boy who told me, Read This.)

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. Food scientists are already creating meat, eggs and dairy in laboratories, without any animals at all. And some scientists predict all animal-based foods will be artificial in the future. But I’m not so sure. In the future, I don’t think there will be fewer kinds of food, I think there will be all kinds of food: real eggs and artificial eggs, vegetables grown in gardens and in greenhouses and in hydroponic facilities, milk from cows and sheep and goats and laboratories, and food produced with technology that hasn’t been invented yet. I think there will be infinite kinds of farms making infinite kinds of foods. And I thought long and hard about the kind of farm, and the kinds of farmers, I wanted to include in this story. 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.Fantastic sequel to the Wild Robot. Just as sweet and simple as the first, The Wild Robot Escapes did not disappoint! Roz has been rebuilt and is working on a large dairy farm. Typical of Roz, she befriends all the animals (and the children), but longs for her life on the island as a wild robot, especially her goose son, Brightbill. Her kindness to others results in them wanting to show her kindness too and help her return to where she feels most at peace. However, there are a lot of obstacles that stand in the way of that journey! We read a five little monkeys book and then over time wrote 4 sequels to that story. We put the monkeys into different situations, introduced cousins and aunts.
