What’s inside...

This boxed set contains Peter Brown’s first two novels about Roz, a robot who awakens alone on a remote island and must learn to survive among the wildlife, and her subsequent escape from captivity back to the wilderness. Together, the tales chronicle Roz’s journey from mechanical outsider to beloved member of an animal community and, ultimately, a mother who will cross land and sea to protect her adopted gosling. Short, cinematic chapters bursting with pen-and-ink illustrations create an accessible yet emotionally rich reading experience that blends adventure with thoughtful reflections on nature, technology, and what it means to be alive.
