What this book is about
Robot ROZZUM unit 7134 (Roz) washes ashore on a wild island and must learn to survive without human direction, adapting her programming to deal with animals, weather, and the slow discovery of what it means to care for something. When she accidentally destroys a goose nest, she raises the sole surviving gosling, Brightbill. Brown's novel is a warm, wise parable about adaptation, belonging, and the nature of family—told with the clarity and gentleness that has made it a modern classroom staple.
