About this deal

The chapters varied in size, some were really short, others were long. I quite liked that the author did it this way, it made it all just a bit more fun and engaging to read. 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.

Roz is torn, she grows to care for the young children and wants to help the farm succeed...but she cannot live with the thought of never seeing her son or the island of animals again. 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. Love, love, LOVE this book. Roz is the best and I am willing to go on any journey with her, even if it involves pigeons. The first book in this series was a great adventure/survival story and while this one still has adventure elements it really focuses on gently asking the reader to ponder life's big questions, Thought provoking… Raises poignant quandaries about the nature of love and selfhood.”― Publishers WeeklyRoz 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.

The Wild Robot Escapes (The Wild Robot 2) by Peter Brown

The ending did bring tears to my eyes. Oh my gosh, yes it did. It was just the best ending to this short series. Hello, I am Rainer unit 6854 but you may call me . . . umm. . . I haven’t made that part up yet. Anyway, I love the book The Wild Robot Escapes! My favorite part is when the triangular white airship flies over Roz in the park and the RECOs zipped down on cables. I also liked the first chapter because it doesn’t include Roz until the end but it seems like it includes Roz the whole time. I also like how the delivery van zigs and zags around the street. I also like it when Roz gets disguised in weeds and mud you call her “the clump of grass” instead of Roz. I had the first book read to me by my teacher, and she said there was a sequel. When I saw the 2nd book at Barnes And Nobles, and I knew I had to get it. I just adored that everyone had heard the tales about the robot mother and the goose son. How every animal (well, most of them) tried to help her as soon as she revealed who she was.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 designer started building this file, with the sketches and the latest version of the text, and we got a feel for how the finished book would look The farm parts were pretty fun. I loved reading about Roz and how she tried to make the farm profitable again, how she fixed the machines so they worked again. Thanks to her the farm came to life again. And not only that, she even tried making improvements. Helping out the animals around the farm. It was just so much fun, even with Roz missing her family and friends, the island, she still made a new home for her at this place. A] stellar sequel… Warmth and gentleness court through the novel, even as dangers emerge.”― Booklist, starred review Aren't we all a little broken and need the loving kindness of others from time to time, a gentle word here and there as a reminder that we matter to someone else? I know I do.

However, Roz had an earlier life (first book), and the life she had there - which I will not go into - is still part of her big robotic heart. (Yep, Roz has feelings, developed from the 'instincts' with which she was programmed.) She's existing in a continual tug-of-war between the farm, farmer and his children AND her earlier life elsewhere. Science fiction meets fantasy in this delightful sequel that gives readers a unique look into what technology could someday have in store. A must-buy for any middle grade collection.”― School Library Journal, starred review Fantastic read, and very detailed. Hartmann would be so pleased!! Best of success with “The Wild Robot Escapes”. Stay well. So we go from a lush green landscape full of animals and games to streets and buildings and robots working for humans. Since Roz is just another thing for the people there, she gets refurbished and is sold cheaply to a family to work on their farm.

Did we miss something on diversity?

The book poses some interesting questions (not just for children) regarding interpersonal relationships and how to live a fulfilled and well-balanced life while showing quite different surroundings. There are the cities, there are the farms and then there is the actual wild. Gradual steps from one to the other, all three with their own challenges, and it is up to the reader which they are more familiar with and which they like best. found him. “You have taught me an important lesson. I can see how camouflage helps you survive; perhaps it could help me survive also.” This is just as good as the first. Roz finds herself working on a farm, but she dreams about returning to her island. She realizes the only way home is to get the assistance of the farmer’s children. Roz gets ready for her journey home yet has complicated feelings about leaving.
