About the Author

"Питер Браун ― родился и вырос в Нью-Джерси. С детства он любил придумывать истории: рисовал причудливых персонажей и ситуации, в которых они оказывались. В подростковом возрасте Питер начал писать. Во время учебы в Колледже искусства и дизайна, где он изучал иллюстрацию, любовь Питера к словам и картинкам побудила его взять несколько курсов по детским книгам. Вскоре он понял, что нашел свое призвание. После учебы Питер переехал в Нью-Йорк, чтобы быть ближе к издательской индустрии. Первую книгу "Полет Додо" он написал, пока работал над анимационными телешоу. После успеха первого издания, Питер быстро написал вторую и третью книги, и его карьера как автора и иллюстратора детских книг быстро пошла вверх. С тех пор Питер написал и проиллюстрировал многие детские книги, получил несколько наград. Сейчас он живет в Бруклине."

* "Brown's middle-grade debut, an uplifting story about an unexpected visitor whose arrival disrupts the animal inhabitants of a rocky island, has a contemporary twist...Brown wisely eschews a happy ending in favor of an open-ended one that supports the tone of a story that's simultaneously unsentimental and saturated with feeling."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

From the Publisher

★ 2016-01-20
A sophisticated robot—with the capacity to use senses of sight, hearing, and smell—is washed to shore on an island, the only robot survivor of a cargo of 500. When otters play with her protective packaging, the robot is accidently activated. Roz, though without emotions, is intelligent and versatile. She can observe and learn in service of both her survival and her principle function: to help. Brown links these basic functions to the kind of evolution Roz undergoes as she figures out how to stay dry and intact in her wild environment—not easy, with pine cones and poop dropping from above, stormy weather, and a family of cranky bears. She learns to understand and eventually speak the language of the wild creatures (each species with its different "accent"). An accident leaves her the sole protector of a baby goose, and Roz must ask other creatures for help to shelter and feed the gosling. Roz's growing connection with her environment is sweetly funny, reminiscent of Randall Jarrell's The Animal Family. At every moment Roz's actions seem plausible and logical yet surprisingly full of something like feeling. Robot hunters with guns figure into the climax of the story as the outside world intrudes. While the end to Roz's benign and wild life is startling and violent, Brown leaves Roz and her companions—and readers—with hope. Thought-provoking and charming. (Science fiction/fantasy. 7-11)
