Summer Reading Community Read: THE WILD ROBOT

A community read is a shared reading experience where members of the community all read and partake in one book.

This summer, in conjunction with our Summer Reading program, the Red Bank Public Library is participating in a community read of THE WILD ROBOT, by Peter Brown.

Pick up your hard copy, download an e-book, or listen to the audiobook, and immerse yourself in Roz’s world while you join the library in crafts, activities, and events all pertaining to THE WILD ROBOT!

And remember, Adventure Begins at Your Library!

The Wild Robot, by peter brown

“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.”

From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide.
