 In this book, a robot named Roz gets stranded on a deserted island. She must brave the elements and befriend the island residents to make her new reality a home. Once she settles on the island, Roz faces her cryptic past. This book promotes community building.
Overall, this book is meh. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I only read it so I could watch the movie later.

Read this because my student recommended this to me! This was such a sweet read. :) I found Roz relatable as an autistic person reading about her sort of learning how to mask, but in a different way. I loved the bonds she formed and the community she built. I loved this sweet book so much. 💞🤖🍃🪿

So cozy and endearing. I picked this audiobook because it was relatively short and I wanted to take a crack at the book before watching the movie; however, I was not expecting to be so attached to a robot and her gosling son. Peter Brown gave such life to this island and its cast of animal characters (special shoutout to the thespian opossum). I can't wait to read the other books in the series. Highly recommend it if you need good found family vibes. This book felt like a nice, warm blanket on a cold, dreary day - and I am not just saying that because of the impending winter storm that's hitting Houston in roughly 24 hours.

“If you stand in a forest long enough, eventually something will fall on you. And Roz had been standing in the forest long enough.” - I'm including this quote just because I chuckled when I heard it.

I love the illustrations in this book; I’m excited that a colour collection of the artwork is coming out soon. Parts of the story are more sad or gory than I expected for a children’s book, but the matter of fact storytelling style works well with that - I cried a few times! Overall a beautiful book, and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

What a charming little book to read after seeing the movie! It has its downfalls--there's far more characters to keep track of than in the movie version (to the point where differentiating them got a bit difficult at points), Fink has much less of a major role and is a bit more of an unapologetic jerk, and the whirlwind pace makes it a bit difficult to actually connect to the narrative--but it was still a quick and heartwarming read.
