“[Peter] Brown’s picture books are consistent bestsellers and critically acclaimed. Expect readers to go wild for his robot-themed novel.”—Booklist, starred review
“While the end to Roz’s benign and wildlife is startling and violent, Brown leaves Roz and her companions–and readers–with hope. Thought-provoking and charming.”—Kirkus, starred review
“This strong debut middle grade novel by the acclaimed picture book author/illustrator is a first purchase for most middle grade collections.”—School Library Journal, starred review
“Brown’s middle-grade debut, an uplifting story about an unexpected visitor whose arrival disrupts the animal inhabitants of a rocky island, has a contemporary twist…Brown wisely eschews a happy ending in favor of an open-ended one that supports the tone of a story that’s simultaneously unsentimental and saturated with feeling.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
