Roz, a robot, finds herself on a deserted island with no idea of why, how or where she is. She then realizes quickly, that she much adapt to her surroundings if she wants to survive. Great read aloud for students that follows a robot as she adapts to her surroundings in order to survive and come to find out the reason behind her history. Go on an adventure with Roz as she explores the island, survives fights with bears and befriends the inhabitants of the island.

Excellent read aloud book for 3rd grade class. The audiobook version read by Kate Atwater was very good. I will report back what the students opinion is when we finish the book.
The kids absolutely loved the story. They are begging for the next book in the series. (

I liked this a lot, but I think the quality of the writing diminishes as it goes along. (
