Welcome to Week 1 of the Online Book Club discussion of The Wild Robot by Peter Brown.
The Online Book Club, if you've never joined us before, is a book discussion group that takes place entirely online. Each week, I write a new blog post that talks about different aspects of the book, and you can interact directly with me and other readers by leaving your comments. Check back each week and see what new topics we're talking about.
The Wild Robot is the story of a robot named Roz that washes up on shore on a remote island. At first, all of the animals that live on the island are scared of Roz, and she is unprepared for a wild life in the wilderness. Slowly, Roz learns to survive and begins to adapt to life with the animals, and she begins to make some animal friends. But, just as she feels connected to the island, her past comes back to haunt her, and she realizes that she might not be able to stay in her wild life forever.
If you want to follow along with us but you aren't interested in reading the book, you can always watch the animated movie version. Check out the trailer above if you want to get a feel for the how the story plays out on screen. Feel free to still leave comments on the blog posts, even if you're only watching the series and not reading the book.
We'll be reading the first 27 chapters for next week, so make sure to read those before checking out the next post. I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
