Follow Peter on Twitter @itspeterbrown Review A boldly original and beguiling wild adventure. * Piers Torday, author of THE LAST WILD *An engaging tale that explores many important themes. We can only hope that Roz serves as the template for all future robots. Peter Browns illustrations are as marvellous as ever! * Coralie Bickford-Smith, author of THE FOX AND THE STAR *The Wild Robot has all the pathos and grace of The Iron Giant or a Studio Ghibli animation. It is nonetheless its own thing, a delicate, touching tale of survival, friendship and family. * Financial Times *A strikingly illustrated novel... a beautiful story in so many ways, with a lot of depth about what it means to be a parent, to be part of a community, to be different, to make mistakes, to care for others and to overcome others distrust. * Juno Magazine *This is such an odd, original, thought-provoking and heartwarming tale. The book is a meditation on what it is to be human and, at the same time, an incredibly fun adventure. Readers will lose their heart to Roz and its a truly gripping read. The illustrations are also enigmatic and beautiful. This is really a perfect childrens book that stays with you long after finishing; a modern-day classic in the making. * Booktrust *A heartfelt story for ages six-plus about how even the oddest of us can find friends - we need Peter Brown to tell his fellow Americans how what seems strange and threatening can turn into love and joy. * New Statesman *A moving and captivating tale about friendship and emotion, it is also beautifully illustrated by the author. * WRD Magazine *Robot sentience meets maternal love in the renowned author-illustrator Peter Browns first foray into writing for older children, The Wild Robot (Piccadilly). Reminiscent of Ted Hughess novel The Iron Man, with some of the curious, timeless quality of William Steigs Abels Island. * Times Literary Supplement * Promotional A gloriously illustrated story of a robots adventures in the wild!
