When we last saw the robot Roz (in The Wild Robot), she was being hauled away from her goose son, Brightbill, back to the factory so that the Makers could repair and reactivate her. Assigned to farm duties on Hilltop Farm, she feels trapped and fears the owners will discover her secret—that she is “defective” and able to think, plan, and speak the languages of the farm animals. More than anything, she desires a reunion with her son. With the children’s help and blessing, and the cows’ assistance, Roz develops an escape plan. We read The Wild Robot at a past Roundtable Reading event, but readers need not have read the first book to enjoy this exciting sequel!

About Roundtable Reading

At Roundtable Reading, young readers read aloud to one another from the opening pages of a good book for about an hour. Children who participate at the event will receive a copy of the book to continue reading at home. No advance sign-up needed; just show up promptly at two o'clock ready to read!
