I have been MIA on this blog for forever, but I just finished a great book that has inspired me to come back! I'm also looking at transitioning to GoodReads, so I may do that sometime in the near future. We shall see.
I saw
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown on the New York Times bestseller list for children's middle grade books. When a ship full of boxed-up robots sinks in a hurricane, only one robot survives, and she finds herself on an animal-filled island in the middle of the ocean. The robot--Roz--must learn to survive in the wilderness and show the animals that she is not the monster they think she is.
I loved this book! Before I started, I wasn't really sure if I'd be into it, but it hooked me right from the start. The story was engaging, and Roz was such a lovable character. There were lots of twists that kept me wondering how things would turn out, and parts of the book were just super endearing. The end left me hoping for a sequel, and I found out there is one! I'm waiting for it on hold at the library. After finishing this book, I immediately recommended it to my family, so Connor is reading it to Emmeline for her bedtime story right now. Highly recommended.
Rating: * * * (3/3 = Loved it)
