This is my 211th book for the year
Amazon says:
Can a robot survive in the wilderness? When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is all alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is - but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a violent storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants. As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home - until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.
This was a cute book. We had recently see the movie and it was quite the tear jerker. I was curious about the books. This is again a young to middle grade book, and written for that age group. Writing is still pretty good. In this case I need to say that the movie was better. I liked the story of Roz and the Gossling Brightbill in the movie much better than in the book. And Roz was much more of a hero in the movie. Overall - glad I read it.
