Roz is no ordinary robot. After being washed up on the shore of a remote and wild island, she learned to adapt and make it her home, befriend its animal inhabitants and even adopt a small orphaned gosling, Brightbill.

But a new life is now beginning for Roz - she has been taken away, far away from her island, back to civilisation. Where she must pretend that she is a robot like any other - there to follow orders and to carry out tasks on the farm where she now works.

She knows she must never let anyone find out who she really is. And more than anything, she must find a way to escape, back to the island and her beloved Brightbill - a journey that will be fraught with danger and drama, and some very unexpected surprises...

Like the first book, the kids really enjoyed this one. This is actually their second time going through this series, as my wife has already read the books to them.

There's some sad parts to the book, but just like the first one, Brown deals with very grown-up topics, like death, in a way that helps kids understand, I think.

We started book 3 last night, but my wife said it's nowhere near as good as the other 2. We will see.
