critically acclaimed. Expect readers to go wild for his
robot-themed novel."--Booklist, 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
* "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
* "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 Reviews, starred
review

readers."--The New York Times
"Roz is not easy to forget."--The Horn Book
"Roz may not feel emotions, but young readers certainly will as
this tender, captivating tale unfolds."--The Washington Post
