About the Book

A #1 New York Times and IndieBound bestseller!
This gorgeously illustrated picture book adaptation brings to full color the adventures of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel The Wild Robot.
Roz is not where she’s supposed to be.
You see, the robot wasn’t designed to live in the wilderness. But when she washes up on an island, she must learn from the animal inhabitants and adapt to her new, natural surroundings, and before long, the island begins to feel like home.
Filled with bestselling creator and award-winning artist Peter Brown’s stunning artwork, this moving picture book is the perfect gift for readers new to The Wild Robot or for longtime fans of the series that sparked a global phenomenon.
Note: This is NOT a continuation of the series. It is a picture book adaptation of the first book in the series, The Wild Robot.

Bookmarks is donating copies of The Wild Robot on the Island to students as part of our Authors in Schools initiative. If you would like to help support this financially, you can make a $10 donation with your event registration and help us increase access and ownership of books in Forsyth County.
